So I had a power steering leak coming from a hose connection. I went ahead and replaced the hoses and stopped that leak. I had to put on a new reservoir though because I broke the old one taking the hose off.
So it has a new res, and two new hoses.
I went out to the farm today for a bit. Engaged the 4hi for just a minute. Didn't do anything crazy with it. When I was going home the pump started to whine on me. Sure enough there was barely any fluid in the res when I got home.

That's the entire story as far as relevant info I can think of. I'll poke around tomorrow to see if I can find the leak, but any guesses? It's all wet with fluid underneath, so its hard to see where its coming from. I'm pretty sure it's not the hose connections or the res/pump connection. Would an over tightened belt have anything to do with it? It doesn't feel too tight to me, but who knows?

 

You should clean it all off, fill it up and then run it. Then watch for leaks. You'll find it. My guess is going to be the reservoir

 

I hope so. I've got plenty of other stuff to do to it, I don't need to be messing with the gear box....

 

Highly highly doubt you're going to have to

 

Okay, I think it was just the clamp on the return hose.

 

Nice and easy fix, congrats!
