- 2003 Ford Explorer XLT
I have a 2003 Ford explorer 4.6 V8. I just replaced the rack and pinion, put it all together and filled it with fluid, and its leaking. It has a pretty decent drip from the bottom of the boot on the drivers side. It looks like the leak may be coming from the power steering lines going to the rack, the pressure line (with that c clamp thing) or the return line. It looks to me that it may be leaking there onto the boot and dripping from there, but im not positive. Im pretty sure i got that clamp thing tight and correct, but what would make it leak from there, or what can i check to try to fix it? Is there also a possibility of it leaking and coming out the bottom of the boot, and if so, what would cause that, and what can i check to fix it? Thanks in advance!
