steering gear box leaking bad
i got a 1993 f150 4.9l 5spd and just yesterday i found out i have no power steering fluid in my pump. so i filled it up and went on. then today i go outside and see all the fluid on the ground. i took a look and it looks like it is leaking out of the gearr box by the pitman arm. its been leaking slowly for about a year or so now. i went offraoding yesterday and thats when i heard the pump was out of fluid. im just wondering if you can just replace the seal on the gear box or do i have to replace the whole thing? i look on autozones and napa websites and they call it a input shaft seal, is that the seal i need to fix that or no? are they hard to replace?

well it looks like it is leaking out of the pitman arm spot so it is the pitman arm seal. ill take a look later it is raining so i will narrow it down when it gets nicer out.
