Think Im at the start of a pitman arm seal failure, if I drive the ranger every day there doesnt seem to be a problem but if it sits for a week or more a small puddle starts right below the steering box, let it sit long enough it will all leak out. But once I start driving it regularly the leakage stops. Ive tried that thick lucas p/s fix (I know its a band-aid, but what the heck) and have the same results. Still have the p/s box as well as a manual box Ive considered putting in. (less crap under hood, no hydraulic leaks but not sure Id like manual steering) . Anyone else had a strange issue like this?
