A lot also leaked a bit here and there...but just adding new fluid was sufficient to let them ride, etc.
Mine was leaking a smidgen here and there, I flushed it and replaced the fluid with synthetic, and it was fine after that.
No, the problem is in the steering gear box, not the power steering pump. I can see the fluid leaking out of the seal just above the pitman arm. I have already put in about as much "stop leak" fluid as I dare, it farily thick already. Looks like it is time to replace the steering gear box.
Quick question -- I know to use a puller to get the pitman arm off, but is there anything special needed to press a pitman arm onto the steering shaft when installing it?
