PS leak from rack

Mine's been leaking for a LONG time, from the right side.
I found that if I modify my parking procedure, the leak is minimal.
I used to park it with the wheel cranked about a turn to the right, due to my sidekick little driveway spot. Now, I back up and crank it almost a turn LEFT instead and what used to be a puddle underneath has diminished to a mere drip or two. More than that if it sits for a few days.

The main difference in the racks is the hydraulic fittings. I used a 1995 Mountaneer rack I got off ebay (new old stock) and used the Mountaineer hoses. It was cheaper to do that and buy the hoses than to do an exchange for the "correct" rack.
That rack just came off my truck and it held up long enough to get me to the SAS.

That is why your fittings fit the F250 steering box. The 01+ just have the plate that clamps the fittings into place.

Actually, they didn't fit the box -- they fit the pump. That is to say: the F-150 Bronco hose did bolt up to my 2002 pump. Neither Ranger/Mountaineer hose would have bolted up to the steering box. The steering box uses a double flare, the rack (from the 1995) used the teflon ring type fittings.

My little brothers leaks in just about the same spot as yours. Out the passengeer boot. Covers the brand new DJM arms and everything. Has been leaking for quite a while. 01 reg cab XL. He hasn't touched it yet. Just had to make sure he checks the fluid about every week. Ironically, it doesn't leak enough, because it doesn't coat the driveway, like when mine was leaking.
