Chevy Truck Leaky Power Steering

[Nick1994]

My 96' Chevy Truck is still leaking power steering fluid. It had a real big leak and I changed the high pressure hose. This slowed the leak down quite a bit but the next day it was still leaking. Had a few drops on the driveway, it was the return line, I replaced that and it no longer leaks from the hoses. Looking underneath it looks like it's coming from the back of the pump, but only leaks a drop or 2 by the time I go out in the morning. I really don't feel like changing the pump, what can I do? The fluid put in was a mixture of the AC Delco brand power steering fluid and Valvoline. It's not enough of a leak to notice anything on the dipstick but I'm tired of the spots all over the driveway.

People on here, as well as myself, have had good luck with Lucas Power Steering Stop Leak. It's one of the VERY few products by Lucas that gets props on here. It's an ester-based seal conditioner/sweller....I believe.

It stopped the leak in my Altima.

+1 sounds like a perfect application to try a stop leak.

Have to agree with the Lucas Power Stop Leak had a small leak on the shaft and added the Lucas and it worked great, my truck is a 97 Chevy.
