Power Steering leaking lines
I think I can figure out how to take the power steering lines off the car but when I put them back on, how do I bleed the air out of the lines. I would imagine I would just put fluid in the res, and then turn the wheel back and forth a few time and repete. Does that sound right, if not correct me please. Im done with having leaking lines and a real nasty smell burning on the exh. Help haha

Pretty much. There's really no other way to bleed it.
Don't be surprised if you still have a rogue bubble come up on occasion for a few days though, temporarily disabling your power steering.
Mine did that (while I was running at the Subaru Challenge no less) after I put in my new rack and pump, and then never did it again.

now if i were to let the thing leak til it ran out of fluid it would sieze the pump and the steering right. cuz if it would not break anything i would just let it run out. the power steering only works half the time.
