power steering leaking
Hey guys, I have a 98 cherokee and the leak looks like its coming from the bottom of the reservoir. Im thinking its between the reservoir and the pump itself. Im guessing it could be a seal if there is one that goes there. Anyway, any other ideas what it could be ?
Im thinking about buying a repair kit that comes with some seals. Il try to take some pics tomorrow for you guys.

Check the pressure hose first. My 96 developed a leak in the hose before which seems to be the weakest link in the power steering system. And a much easier fix than replacing seals.
