Subject: I think my rack&pinion is leaking!
IP: Logged

Message:
I'm spraying some trans fluid around and I can't see any leakage on lines or pan. However, I can find it around the power steering components. Namely it looks like it may be coming from a large plug (larger than 11/8, probably metric anyway) down by the drivers side axle shaft. Can this be tightened or is that nut just some kind of adjustment? Thank You!

Don't know about the nut.
Mine was leaking and I could not tell from where.
I tried stop leak to no avail.
I then drained all the PS fluid and replaced with Valvoline Syn-something power steering fluid.
That stopped the leak. That was several years ago.
Recently I switched the PS to Amsoil synthetic ATF.
No leaks so far.
