Hey guys, so hopefully someone can help me..... I'm driving down the hwy going around 45 and I hear a clink kinda noise immediately followed by the truck jerking all the way to the right of the lane. I re-corrected and slowed and went a few hundred feet and it jerked again... This time no noise.... It repeated that about 4 times so I pulled it on a back road that leads home so I could drive slower. I get home and park... I can now see that its leaking slowly. Just a drip at a time under the truck. Also where you refill the steering fluid as well as surrounding parts are all oily like somthin blew....? I knew we had an old gasket that was causing the leak but this is a new a different location.... Help
Where is the fluid actually coming from? Can't really tell from the pics.
That's the problem,.. I don't know where it came from. the puddle of it on top of other parts shows that whatever is leaking is different from the leak I was aware of down below due to a worn gasket...
Grab a couple cans of brake clean, clean everything off nice, then run the truck, and turn the steering wheel back and forth a couple times. (lock to lock) See if anything interesting shows up.
