Power steering leak

[GoArmy521]

Hey y'all, I am new here and this is my first post, but i have a 1990 Bronco that my older brother didn't take care very well so i decided to try and fix it up. Everything runs great, i replaced the front two tires and the engine seems like its good. But the power steering is leaking, I am pretty sure it is leaking from the box, where the box connects to the wrench looking thing(Not to sure what its called) I wanna learn how to fix it myself if that is possible and save some $$$. If y'all can help me out, much appreciated.

Hi Army.., Welcome..!

Squirt some Gunk eng. cleaner (don't use the foam kind) on the box. Rinse with water & use air hose to dry if you have one.

You can even sprinkle (when dry) some talcum powder, baking soda, etc. to make the leak location more obvious.

Then take a pic. so we can see if it's something you can fix. >< <'>

The steering box is your "front line to non-crashing"..! Any interior work should be done by trained/experienced gear-heads... :-B

Okay, ill squirt some of this break cleaner stuff i had that will do that same thing and it will get all that gunk off of it. Is there a way to post a pic from my phone on here? Maybe an app or something?

There may be a way straight fr. a phone but it's by me....

have a look at this thread to see if it applies to you. I wish I had taken pictures of the two times that I replaced/ fixed the seal.
