Problem solved. Oh yea...
Well, I went out to my car to work on it some more after it still leaked yesterday. Guess what I found out? Apparently, I didn't completely screw in one of the hoses. Strange, eh. I could have swore I didn't forget that one.
I'm glad that it was on the 'return' hose and not on the high-pressure one that I forgot to tighten all the way down. That could have been a lot nastier than a little bit of fluid leaking out. A whole lot nastier.
I tested it out by turning the wheel far to the right and left. I made sure to pay real close attention to the power steering stuff to see any fluid leaking out anywhere. I didn't see anything. So, I think that problem is out of the way.
Once I get some good savings saved up, I intend to take my car by Ford to see what can be done about my engine knock. Perhaps they have this industrial strength cleaner that gets rid of any crud in the engine. I have heard of it.
Oh yeah, they have some super cleaner. You _might_ be able to just buy you some and use it at home.
You could just put up with the engine knock as I am sure it isn't always there. It really could be just the engine knocking when you put your heavy foot on the gas. You could always ask Daddy Warbucks for NEW car. ??
Hell, if you have a new car lined up let me go ahead and drive my Stang into the ground. Otherwise, I'm going to attempt to maintain it. It is, as far as I know, my ONLY car. I don't have the money to buy a new or used one. So, the choice is pretty much nonexistent.
Despite what you may think, engine knock I'm pretty sure is a bad thing if you don't fix it.
