Issue 1

Power Steering Pump Leakage.

Your o ring is leaking, but judging by the fact that you told me you're losing all of the fluid in less than a day, you're leaking fluid elsewhere. Check the cooler to make sure it isn't rusted through. Also check the rubber part of the high pressure line near the rack.

I remember mine looking a little like that... I had to remove the hose for more room to access the timing belt and the thing was completely dry rotted and ended up just ripping off like tearing a wet piece of cardboard. Probably wouldn't hurt to have it replaced.

Don't forget to register it on Earl's list of 92's

Is it landing on the ground? Mine developed a pin hole in one of the lines going to the steering rack . I ended up replacing all of them PITA. They range from $125 to only $35.00 there are 4 or 5 . If I had to do it again I would have them made. Try the O ring trick first . The Tank all pealing means to me this has been a long running problem, Spilled fluid refilling caused that . Make sure you don't use any Power steering fluid . ONLY autoMatic Tranny fluid .
Pictures of the inside and the pass side please .
