Help me find my oil leak.

It looks like its coming from the power steering pump. It only leaks sometimes like when its real hot or i run it hard. Sometimes it will be a couple drops or if i run a store for 5 -10 minutes it will leave a 5" puddle. I just cant tell where its coming from. Please help dieselfan.

Sounds like you vaccum pump. Check out fixinrams.com. He has rebuilt pumps or a rebuilt kit for much less than a new pump.

another place to look is the steering gear were the pitman arm connects the sector saft has two seals and they go bad and its usally more safe to just replace the whole thing instead of R & Rin the seals. Thats were mine is leaking as of now.
