I have a power steering puddle in my garage the other day. I looked under the truck and saw some drips. I thought it was coming from one of the hoses. Alot of stuff looked wet under there. The rubber boots??? looked wet also. I don't have any steering loss or noise. The level is still full. When I back in to the garage I have to turn the wheel all the way until it stops to get it in there. I park it in that position so I can get it out also. I didn't know if this was putting to much pressure on it or something? Any body have any idea's what wrong?

 

Hi there! Im new here but have a lot of knowledge of these trucks. Here is the fix for your probelm.

I'm going to try what you said in the morning.

 

Yes, the clamps seem to be a weak point and there have been many leaking PS fluid due to them. I think that I'd pay an extra $250 over sticker if I knew that all the clamps/etc were of better quality, however, I don't think they could make that a selling point. Everyone expects stuff to not leak or rattle.

 

Perfect , I'm here 20 minutes and I have a good idea where to look, thanks for the post and the photos, I just noticed mine leaking at the power steering, and hadnt dug much deeper yet, its kind of cold out to be wrenching on my dd this week ;-). Its kind of annoying to have a truck that isnt even broken in yet (30k) and start seeing stuff leaking that my beater jeep doesnt even do[:@]other that its a nice ride[8D]
