After a hard day of mud wheeling and being winched out of a steep muddy incline running over various vegatation and sort...
and Using Front lockers heavily during this time, wich I know put a bit more stress on the power steering on turns.
I found myself with an empty power steering system...
Looked all over for signs of leaks but found none..
Filled PS, one whole bottle and drove home, pump was making more noise than usual and liquid was frothy...
Next day, PS was low again 1/2 bottle, Still no signs of leaks on floor or around engine.
Next day, PS low again another 1/2 bottle.....
OK I know I HAVE to have a leak somewhere!
Shouldnt I be seing drops on my driveway or a real mess of oil i my engine compartment by now?
I just ordered a PS rebuild kit (I have large 35" tires and I know the pump must be needing rebuild by now)
Havent had time to look very colsely at the entire engine bay but is there any particualr area I should be inspecting, possibly any high pressure line area I might have bumped during my wheeling?
Or could the PS pump be leaking into an enclosed area im not aware of?
