I have had a small leak in my power steering assemble. Not sure where its coming from. Now I am beginning to hear a soft grinding sound when I make a right turn, So far the sound is barely noticeable but I can hear it. The reserve well of the steering fluid is kept full. The car drives and steers fine. What part am I looking at replacing? What is the cost estimate? Could I do it myself? ( I had no problem changing the Stabalizing arms last year.)

Replacement of all the hoses in the power steering system is not difficult and is easier if it is done on a lift. Go to Realoem. Com and look at their exploded views for the hoses you will need. The noise is difficult to determine from cyberspace and could be the P/S pump cavitation from oil starvation.
