Within the last year I have noticed a leak on the back side of the engine while changing oil in my wife's 2006 Civic. First time, the dealer told me it was a leaky oil pan gasket bolt which they tightened. This time I am told the power steering pump is leaking and will need to be replaced. The car is 18 months old with 51,000 miles on it. The Honda dealer is currently repairing the car for $470 by replacing the power steering pump. This should not be happening on a year this old!
