Replaced my oil cooler lines over the weekend and noticed lots of caked oil, dirt around the underneath of my steering box. I didn't get a chance to inspect it too well.

But do these leak? And what are my options if it is leaking?

btw, are those transmission cooler lines that I saw as well? Noticed some oil/fluid on them, but I'm not sure if they are leaking or its just being blown onto them.

all the lines on a rover tend to leak.. the PS high pressure & low pressure hoses are very prone to wheep some.. usually they work themselves loose & leak. you can try to pull them off, clean them & reattach, hopefully that will resolve your leaks, if not you can have new hoses built... (cheaper than OEM hoses)
