Q: I'm leaking powersteering fluid from my 2095 Chevy Duramax and don't know where it's leaking from?
I've recently replaced both high pressure hoses and replaced the hydro boost 2wks ago and this morning when I went to my truck I noticed fluid was on ground right below my pitman arm and can see where pitman arm is covered in oily residue from leak. I can also see where its leaked onto the inside of frame and onto the tierod up to where the grease fitting and boot are by the frame. This is the first time that I've parked my truck over night on a asphalt type pavement since changing hydro boost bc I live in the country so I don't know if it just started the leak in the last day or a WK ago. Hoses are still dry along with the fittings are tight and nothing is leaking at powersteering box or hydro boost.
