Power steering pressure switch?

Well, I just took my car in to have it looked at to find out all the little things wrong with it, I have been loosing power steering fluid and they told me the power steering pressure switch is bad. However, I CANNOT find a power steering pressure switch on any subaru parts websites. IS there another name for this switch? Basically the fluid is leaking onto my engine and on the upper radiator hose. There doesnt seem to be anything wrong with the power steering other than the fluid slowly disappears. Know where I can get one of these? Or know of anybody parting out a car that might have one?

Easy Fix

I had the same problem with mine, and it turned out to be the o-ring on the power steering unit. Between the pump and the tank. Go to the following link and it will explain how to fix. http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/user.php?How-To|14284 Good Luck!

It is a fairly easy fix. If you need more help, post here and maybe we can talk you through it. I had problems with it too and got it fixed. Good luck.
