Steering box leaking? Possible? 1999
I suppose anything is possible but I have never run into this before.
I have a leak dripping of the center link on my 99 suburban. I think it's the steering box. The A/C lines are wet also which are slightly forward of the steering box. Everthing in the area is wet but I can't see the leak at idle. I think it may spit more out going down the highway or at higher rpms. Has anyone run into this before??? Am I missing something?
Thank you!

craigpete: Welcome to the forum.
Really need to thoroughly clean all of the area where there's leakage cuz the airstream will blow a small leak a long ways from the source.

Clean everything up with brake clean and fill the p/s up to the full mark. Then turn the steering wheel all the way to one side against the stop. Then have someone rock the wheel on and off the stop (while it is running) while you look underneath for the leak.
