Hey all,
Was hoping to get some pointers on a power steering leak. Same tale of woe on getting the dealer to look at my truck, I had an appointment yesterday I made over a month ago, went up there and found out they only have one diesel tech working and they wouldn't be able to diagnose until maybe end of the week. I bought the truck to use--we have plans this weekend. So, I rescheduled and said I'd just keep topping the PS reservoir off when I check, which is often.
The leak is slow. You can see drips that well up underneath the box where the pitman arm connects. From the top, looking down at the pump, there are two lines that go into the gearbox and you can see a tiny pool of fluid and debris buildup around that area because it's been wet from the fluid I presume. The lines are tight, no sign of any issues. I've had it running and watched from underneath, on top, turned the wheels lock to lock more times than I can count.
Anyone have any pointers on where to look to try and pinpoint the leak? I can post pictures later if it helps.
Thanks!
