power steering fluid leak

[salnkat4ever]

i parked my truck, as i came back to the truck i had no power streering...all the fuild had leaked out..got home an it leaking from the bottom. checked all hoses that were visable...and can't find the leak...it seems to be leaking somewhere below the gear box....any suggestions would be very very helpful.//

It'll make it a lot easier to spot the leak if you clean/degrease the area first, refill the ps reservoir and check again. Once oil starts leaking out, it can migrate all over the place making it harder to pinpoint the source.

There is a bottom seal in the pump that can shrink and dump all the fluids. I have been able to save it with a bottle of Lucas Power steering fluid. It swells the seal back to shape, thus stopping the leak.

There is also an O-ring on the tank line than can leak as well.
