Power Steering gear Leaking

The power steering gear on my build just started leaking. It was fine when the build started but I guess time got to it-- my question is: Does anyone have any experience with this problem? Is there a seal that's easily replacable or is it something that requires a changeout??

Re: Power Steering gear Leaking

IIRC the seal around the input shaft is usually the cause. Some have replaced it and written it up. You'll need to clean it and see exactly where it's leaking. I know they can be rebuilt but considering what it does, I don't think I would trust an amateur rebuild.

Check the fluid. Is it metalfake? Time for new everything if so.
