Getting a daily drip of power steering/MTX fluid from the rear 9driver's side) of the 2.0L engine in my '95 GL.

tightened the hose clamps coming off the resevoir near the right hood hinge, but the drip only got bigger. ???

where do I need to begin looking for this?

To eliminate the trans jack it up & check where the drive shafts enter the trans(oil seals)and the 'split line' where the two halves of the cases ar bolted together.The other source could be the pas end 'boots' on the rack or any of the flex lines around the rack...any fluid on or around the rear part of the subframe cross member points to a rack leak....PS as you have a 95 with 'rod shift' you may also want to check low and to the rear of the trans where the shfter rod enters the case,small boot here and an oil seal....
