power steering leak
My power steering fluid is leaking. At first i thought it might be my return line but i took a closer look and it looks like it might be the unit itself, whats a common place for powersteering to leak?

There are two seals that can go, more often than the other is the lower seal where the pitman arm bolts. The bearing fails and allows lateral movement in the output shaft which kills that seal. The other seal is on the input side for the steering shaft.
I have also had the crimped fittings on the hoses fail.
