    Power steering fluid leak

    I have a 1988 mighty max 4x4 manual transmission that has a pretty substancial power steering fluid coming from almost near the oil pan under the truck. I was wondering what are some probable causes and fixes. Thank you in advance!

    lower seals on the box are often the culprit. is it dribbling along the frame rail?

    could also be loose bolts/bleeder on the top of the box, loose hose connections at either end or a damaged hose. On the pump end it could be the pulley seal or cracked res.

    suggest cleaning the area up to pinpoint where its coming from

    I’m going to attempt to clean it as best as I can today to find the leak and will get back to you as soon as I pin point it to see what to do from there.
