Default Power Steering question

For starts I know my truck is leaking power steering fluid right from what I'm 95% sure is the pump but possibly the gear box. This is on the inside of the drivers side frame rail ahead of the front axle. If it would help I can post a picture of it to help. I was wondering if anyone knows the part number to this piece and about how much they cost? Thanks!

Im not sure exactly what part you are referring to but you can download the part manuals from the links in my signature and find it. Then go to someplace like www.wermopar.com

That is where mine was leaking.... Mine was the gear box and Est. cost is about 1000. at the dealer. plus after it is installed you need to get an aligment. i ca ngfet the part number later when i go out and crawl under the truck.

Cool

My truck is leaking in the gear box as well...It was coming from the bottom of it. We purchased a Master seal kit at Advanced auto for like 20- 30 dollars, and replaced all of the seals, that seemed to help the bottom leak - but now it is leaking from the adjuster screw... - Everyone i have spoken to has never seen this happen before...there was nothing in the kit to put between the the box and screw (like a oil gasket or anything) do you know if something is suppose to be there...?

If you have a pick and pull in your area the gear box is only 59 or 60 dollars. If you go to the Auto Store they range from 160-200, and has a core charge of 160. (Just from my looking a few days ago.)

It is the gear box seal, I was going to post a picture but the file size was too large.
