 Subject: Fluid Drops
IP: Logged
Message:
I parked my truck and when i left the parking spot i noticed some small drops of fluid on the ground so i checked to see what it was and it seemed to be power steering fluid. I wasnt sure so i took a quick ride with it and when i got back i left it runnin and i checked under, and it seems that theres small power steering fluid drops coming out of it but only when i was turning my wheels to the max . What can it be?

At max turn is the point of max pressure. This could be a seal going out or a hose just starting to give out. Get a friend to hold some pressure on the wheel while you look with your fingers. Clean each place checked before each finger check so you will know when you find the leak. When you think you located it, Recheck a couple of times to be sure.
So many problems .... So little time

You didn't give any information except 'my truck is leaking what can it be', so if it still has a warranty, use it. If not, grab yer flashlight, climb under the beast and try to trace the drips to the source. It's the only way.
Once you know where the leak is, you can plan the fix. Don't rule anything out - check every associated part: hoses, reservoir and cap, cooler (if equipped), rack housing, etc.

Ok thanks guys! Its a gen II with around 84k miles on it and i noticed that when i stop on a straight road , nothing drips under but when i turn to get at my house , it seems to start dripping. So it does that when theres pressure in the hoses. Im gonna check this closer tomorow, I wish i had a 4X4 so it would be easier to get under it :)
