Power steering fail!!

[Jerry Brett]

So today I was running an errand and suddenly noticed a groaning sound when turning the steering wheel. Usually I am the one making groaning sounds as this car seems to have been sent to test me.  When I got to where I was going I popped the bonnet and there was the fluid reservoir slick with fluid on the outside where it doesn't belong. Hopefully this means it's just a split hose or busted clip. Anyone know if X Types are prone to this or have I just been unlucky?  Even worse, does anyone know if this is something worse than a split hose?

Nope, I couldn't be so lucky as to suffer a split hose. Leaking pump. £200 bill to put it right. Just what I needed right before Christmas. Doh!
