thanks again!!
Were you getting a puddle forming by the drivers side? I noticed I had a small puddle in that area when I went out to my truck after work but it was dark out so I gotta investigate in the morning....if I'll even be able to find it. Thanks

Yea it was at least a softball size puddle at work but when I got home I didn't have one. But I just peaked my head under there & along the frame rail it's black so I've gotta go back out & look some more.

they are inside the pump,at the hose connection...if they don't stick to the hose,look inside the pump,just get some needle nose and pull them out.

Yes, the O rings were my problem. There's three of them and you'll need a #10 Torques bit to do the job. No leaky now. Thanks for the help. Now on to bigger and better stuff.
