Welcome to the 318ti forum. Here is what others on this forum told me about leaks: Put the car up on jack-stand, spray the leaking area with Simple Green and wipe that area clean. If I were you I would then start the car engine up and work the steering wheel back and forth. Now look at the rack and pinion and you will see exactly where the leak is coming from. My guess is it is a leaking hose. Let us all know about your progress. When you fix the leak sound off about it. I for one like to hear about 318ti's being fixed.
