While changing my oil today I noticed a small amount of fluid on the bottom of my steering rack. It looks to be coming from the hex head plug (1 1/4" ?) that points downward. My fluid is withthin range and I don't think I feel any steering issues.I have a little over 71,000 miles on her. Should I be concerned,or expect problems soon?
Thanks!!

 

Mine started like that, then my return line when bad.

 

Make sure it's not coming from the cooler line (common problem) fix for the line leak is the change the factory clamps with a worm screw type

 

Take a good engine cleaner and clean everything GOOD and then see where exactly it is leaking from. Mine also had a small leak on the PS line just as it came into the rack. As said before, a good worm gear fixed it.

 

Thanks for the responses,I will get it cleaned up and see exactly where it is coming from. I really know zero about steering(power or not) and cannot identify the parts by name.My service manual(Haynes) seems very vague on description too.Is there somewhere else I can find info on parts and descriptions?

I miss my old Clymer motorcycle manuals where EVERYTHING has an exploded view and even the nuts and bolts are labeled.

 

Well the worm clamps didn't fix mine I even replaced on line to the cooler and still have a leak guess I am going to have to change the other line. I know the pressure side of the system is 1650 psi but the return seems to be where it is leaking.
