Finally fixed my power steering leak
#1
And it turns out that it probably wasn't even the hose leaking. When I went to loosen the nut on the pressure hose where it connects to the pump, it was fairly easy to turn. I'm positive it wasn't tightened completely. At that point, I already had the other end off and the new hose in hand, so I replaced it anyway.
1 tip: Going in from the driver's side wheel well to get to the lines makes things much easier. Lift the flap covering the area around frame and you have plenty of access.
It was a straightforward repair. No more leaks and now I have my power steering back. Sucks that I waited this long. I replaced the engine in my truck back in 2013 or 14 with another from GM and it's been leaking ever since. I've only put around 10k miles on it in that time. Maybe less. The engine itself has been flawless.
