Common issue ata ng Honda cars yung leaking hydraulic PS systems, not to mention that Honda uses their own specific PS fluid. My old 6th gen is suffering from a PS leak and so with an officemate who has a Civic ES.

PS pump repair will be just around 500 (labor cost only) and can easily be done in a few hours. Repair of the steering rack assembly will be around 2k and needs 2 days to bring it down, take it apart and re-assemble, then put it back, plus realigning the suspension arms.
