Leaking power steering fluid
Hey guys, I've been leaking power steering fluid from below my steering box right were the pitman arm attaches. Has anyone else experienced this? I've heard a seal needs to be replace but I just wanted to get advice. I've been putting in Lucas Power Steering Stop Leak but no luck yet. Has the 4.9l in it.

Remove the rack from the pitman arm, the take the nut off the pitman arm, next you'll have to use a pitman arm puller to remove that. Then a small deal puller to remove your bottom seal. Fluid will probably **** everywhere. Then install new seal. Reverse order than check ps fluid level. I've never done the seal on obs fords, But that's how it is on the trucks that I work on.
