Does anyone know how to stop a small leak in the power steering I haven't found the leak yet but i know its pretty small. I cleaned everything off yesterday and I'm going to check it to see if i can find where its dripping from. Don't really want to spend the money to replace the whole power steering if i can help it. Any suggestions would help.

If the fluid is not tan colored or milky then its not that bad of a leak. after cleaning, give it a few days of driving and check for any wettness. Its a small hosed system so any leak will be around the pump or gear box..

Check near the pitman arm it seems they leak from the seal in the bottom of the steering box often (like 8879FORD mentioned)
