o noes power steering leak
so got a 96 blazer 112800 miles and never had any problems the day before i just seafoamed it and changed my oil so i walked outside and saw a small maybe 4" diameter puddle and was just like "wtf seriously" so i got under it and found it was my power steering either just my seals which i hope or the steering box which hopefully not cause that will take money away from my racing seats lol anyone else have a PS leak and if so was it just the seals?

I just put my second(warrantied) Power Steering Pump in at 208,000 miles. Replace the hoses as well - it'll serve you better.
Also, the fluid eats up paint & rubber, so be sure to keep an eye on your driver's side swaybar bushing.
You will need and must have a power steering pump pulley puller(say that three times fast!) to get the job done. You can't unbolt the pump 'til you get the pulley off of it.
Bottom Line, the job is not that hard and not expensive at all!
