Power steering pump leaks which appear to be coming from the pressure fitting, return fitting, or at the reservoir to housing seal may actually be caused
by fluid spilling past the dipstick, cap assembly. Overfill is the most common cause of spillage. Also, vehicles with high performance engines such as the
5.0L H.O. and the 2.3L EFI turbo are more likely to show signs of spillage. Other vehicles may spill fluid due to rough roads or severe handling
conditions.
