Default power steering problem

I have a 93 ES300 and there is a power stearing leak...can anyone help me either 1. figure out how to fix this problem myself (via some type of guide or instructions manual) 2. tell me how much it should cost to fix this at a mechanic and or the dealership. Is there one hose that controls the pressure to the power steering or are there more? I have heard different things and am just getting confused...please help...thanks...

is your steering getting stiffer in the process?

If you dont have a lot of experience, youll need to take it to a mechanic. You have to rip out a ton of stuff to get to the pump, so unless you know exactly where the leak is and can reach it, you are out of luck.

Depending on where the leak is, leave it to a trained tech to do this. It's too easy to mess this up if you don't have any mechanical background experience.
