I noticed about two weeks ago that my power steering was low so i filled it up. I noticed yesterday it is low again. Does/has anyone had this problem with the Hemi engene? How do I fix it? My dad noticed it was leaking a little, not much at all just a drip every once in a while.

YEAH it's got a HEMI!

 

That's what it is, most likely. The connections to the rack are known to leak a bit. Look for some oil trails on the chassis or motor. I noticed as I changed the engine oil recently there is a bit of fluid on some connections. Guess it's time for some hose clamps.

 

I have the 2wd version of the same truck with the 4.7 and my powersteering does whine a little. I guess its a good idea to check it out.

 

So aren't the fittings on the rack high pressure fittings? Is it as easy as tightening them? I'm pretty certain that is where mine is leaking from.
