Re: Need help plz

If it just leaking out the pitman arm shaft, thats a pretty cheap and easy fix. You can get just the pitman shaft seal for a couple of bucks. Pull the pitman arm off the shaft (leave it attached to the center link) remove the c clip that holds the seal /washer in place on the box, put the pitman arm back on snug, fill the p/s pump start the engine and turn it from lock to lock until the seal POPS and the fluid gushes. Remove pitman arm, washer and seal, clean and reinstall new parts. NOTE: this is a messy way of doing the job. but WAY faster that trying to dig that old seal out with a pick.
