 Snow did pass the time by typing:
Anyone have Ideas on what part maybe leaking? lines, fittings,steering box> ???


1) rotten hose ends on return line (or loose clamps)
allow fluid to slowly run down and drain.

2) old o-ring seal between oil reservoir and pump
can fail resulting in fluid dripping from under the pump

3) split or crack in pressure hose results in fluid
fog or oil stains far away from pump. (ps, due to
the pressures never feel for a leak on any highside
line when the pump is running, you could get injected
with fluid and that is bad.)

To clean out the PS system you basically have to flush it.
That's not too hard, just takes fluid and time.

1) remove the return hose
2) drain as much from the reservoir as possible
(use a turkey baster or length of hose to suck
out the fluid.
3) plug the return side to the reservoir
4) stick the PS return hose into a jar or container
(might have to use a long bit of hose)
5) fill up the reservoir with new fluid.

Now with the engine on and someone helping...
Turn the wheel full left, full right, while adding new
fluid to keep the reservoir full. Keep doing this till
the fluid that is draining turns clean (about 2 quarts)

That won't get it all, but it gets most. Now you hook the
reurn line back to the reservoir and fill it to the proper
level. Next day you use the turkey baster or hose to drain
the reservoir and refill with fresh fluid.

If it's terribly cruddy you might have to take the pump
off and clean the reservoir with a stick and towell. Or
solvent, wash, and dry.
