How to know if the power steering pump is leaking?
Went to replace all 4 bald tires the other day. Service guy at a big box auto service shop (not Mazda dealer) told me power steering pump needs replacement as it's leaking.
Power steering just looks dark and I am aware I need to do a power steering flush.
If and when the power steering pump is replaced, then any other parts that should be replaced together with the power steering pump?
Am I wrong to assume that the power steering pump and the power steering pulley is one unit combined? The parts diagram on mazda parts stores looks different compared to the images if I search the part number LF24-32-650B.
The ones from eBay and Amazon looks like this.
But the one from the official Mazda Parts stores are like this.
Thank you.

- Steering seems normal to me even at low speed.
- No puddle under.
- Power steering reservoir is below minimum but it has always been like that since I got the vehicle.
