More on the steering box

[rollingpinz]

Hello

I think that I am resigned to removing the steering box for a chance at fixing the drip. I have tried to be a bit more scientific in finding the drip. I wiped it clean and drove it and monitored the floor plan. Nothing. The next day, a few drips have run down the floor pan over-night. Just out of curiousity, I even parked the truck faceing down my sloped driveway. I even tried removing the fill plug at every stop and even overnight to see if releasing any pressure would make a difference. Each time, I wipe in the morning and it stays dry all day, then I check it the next morning and about three drops have left a trail from the driver's-side rear-most up-facing bolt. So, now, I am convinced that either chupacabras are at work or my truck has a bed-wetting problem.
Of course, this is timed with the selling of my Chevy. Damn chupacabras.

To trace the source of the leak, clean and wipe dry, then spray "Foot Powder" around the suspect area. The powder will "sag" away from the leak
The shaft seal or housing O-ring are usually the culprets
