Hey everyone,
After pulling into my neighborhood after a two hour drive home, I noticed that my power steering pump was whining. I drove it into my driveway and when I hopped out, it was leaking out fluid on my driveway.
I had make a short drive afterwards.
I didn’t want to add fluid because it was just going to dump it all out within minutes anyway. Long story short, I drive 5 miles round trip, and now the truck has no fluid at all.
My assumption would be that a line tore or broke because of how abruptly and quickly it lost all of the fluid. It’s dark now unfortunately, and tracking down the source of the leak is tricky because there is no fluid left now. It’s super messy and I don’t have any carb/brake cleaner to spray and clean the area up. It’s super messy on the drivers wheel well as well as the top of the axle being covered in fluid as well.
I’m hoping it’s just a hose that needs to be replaced.
Where would be the best place to start tracking this leak?
