yeah there's a leak...I've got grease building up on the back of the pitman arm and bottom of steering box. I think its the oil seal on the bottom of the sector shaft. I was driving the other day, took a turn and had no PS.
Yeah the only way to check is to take that top plate off, thx
The res. was full of ATF so I don't think I was low on fluid. Didn't hear the typ. noise associated with low fluid either. This was a friends truck and he did have power steering fluid in it for a few weeks before I told him that thats no good and he needs to put in ATF. I hope the pump isn't F'ed. Belts are tight too.
