*PROBLEM FIXED** it was that hose called - lower pressure return line that was craked. Basically on the video, you can see right where the fluid is, there is a silver looking metal hose. Thats the culprit!!
it was like 2 feet long hose. So they had the part and changed it. I went on the city and hwy for a test drive and while on hwy the car was perfectly straight. Because before for a long time the car always veered to left or right and even after alignment and suspension check, it still did. And now it drove for 20 mins and it was well planted. I am very happy.
