Power Steering Fluid Leaking
On my 82 Trans Am, I've had problems with the power steering fluid leaking forever. The reservoir has been replaced twice (once under warranty), and I have tried a bottle of stop leak, or whatever it is called. The car was in storage for 6 months, and alot of the fluid leaked out.
The steering box is a tighter ratio from Mecham Racing.
Why is the grease brown by the sway bar bushing?

When was the steering box replaced? I haven't had the *opportunity* to replace a pitman arm or box, isn't there a seal above the pitman arm, at the bottom of the box?

I don't think the steering box was ever replaced, besides from Mecham Racing in 82. I can check all of my receipts sometime. The reservoir was replaced last year.
