- Protege5 Leaking Power Steering loop?
Mazdas247 · Lt. Dan · 25 Sep 2026
Hey gang - started losing power steering fluid at the right front, and noticed the hard line that runs to the "power steering loop" behind the front bumper is leaking. Made a run to the junkyard, and EVERY SINGLE Protege I found has rusty lines there as well. What's everyone doing for this repair? Aftermarket cooler? Just looping/bypassing with a piece of rubber hose? Is the OEM part still available from Mazda?
