I have a 2005 f150. I noticed that the power steering is leaking I'm thinking the high pressure hose is leaking. Its it hard to take off and is anyone else has had this problem

I have the same problem, changed my oil pan gasket last weekend and took a better look. It looks like a pain in the a** the one side goes into the rack and pinion with little to no clearence. the other side is into the pump on bottom side. So you will probably have to pull filter to get at it. I am guess once you pull the filter and probably pull the oil drip pan they wont be to bad. I am waiting cuz i want to replace my oil filter housing gasket as well.

Ok thanks. I'm going to work on it this weekend. Sence I have another vehicle to drive. I hoping it just a line that a line got a pin hole in it. Maybe it won't be a to big of a job

If urs is like mine the sensor in the line is covered with oil so mine is either the sensor threads leaking or the compression fittings going bad I think mine is the compression fittings leaking cuz I see a drip trail. Let me know how it goes

I didn't get to look into it this weekend due to weather. But I noticed that it don't leak when its cold ( low 20's ). But when doing some errands today it started leaking again it was in the low 60's. Still can't tell where its leaking I'll probably just get a high pressure line and a return line anyway unless I come across something else
