99 1.8 (petrol) power steering pump question - jp147
About a couple of years ago, I had to call the AA because my Ford Focus (petrol) had a power steering pump leak. The AA mechanic said that it was caused by a "pressure sensor leak". Because I couldn't drive the car to a garage to be repaired (the leak was too large), I had a mobile mechanic come to my house to do the work.

Do you think that this repair will prevent the same thing happening again in the near future and are power steering system leaks common especially on cars of this age and is it possible that any fluid from such a leak could get into the timing belt compartment ?
