My 2008 MDX developed a slow steering fluid leak about 3 years ago. I had it repaired by replacing the Return Hose from the base of the steering assembly to the aluminum elbow of the Return Line. This did not cure the problem. Last week I discovered that the Aluminum Elbow was perforated. I replaced it and that solved the problem. This was more of a seepage that occurred in warm weather only but did require fluid top ups.. I bring it up because perforated aluminum tubing is the last thing one would suspect in a line with plastic hoses.
