Power Steering Leak
I have noticed over the past few days that everywhere I have parked, there has been a puddle of power steering fluid under the truck that is increasing by the day. I go under there and I see that it is leaking not from the high pressure hose that I though it would be, but from the lower bracket bolts (as pointed to in the pic). How do you seal these bolts? Could it be done with teflon or an o-ring?

Re: Power Steering Leak
I just reassembled mine for the second time in a month. The bolt you point to does not have any o-ring or such on it - doesn't need it. It's screwed into a blind hole tapped the pump body itself. If it is in fact leaking right there it's the big o-ring around the entire pump body that seals to the case.
P.S. Do you have a bolt in there? I don't see a hex head? Maybe it's in the shadow.
