This TSB is being republished to provide current service part numbers for the dipstick cap and baffle.
Power steering pump leaks which appear to originate at 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 susceptible to spillage. Other vehicles may spill fluid due to rough roads or severe handling conditions.
