Wow... F me, I am so cursed with my van and leaks. So last night, after completing alot of other things, I decided to start her up for the first time in months. This would be the first time to actually have the powersteering pumping with the new gear. So i fill up the reservoir with Dex 3 and start it up, run for a few seconds, then go top up again, do this a couple times until I run out of Dex 3. It was late by now so i decided to finish bleeding the gear in the morning once i got more Dex 3. So anyway, i come out to a big puddle of dex 3 on the floor in the morning. ***. After inspection I assumed I must had just missed with the funnel somehow and spilled it without knowing last night.
Anyway, i get the new fluid, fill it up again, wipe everything down, then turn the wheel back and forth a couple times with the engine off and hear spurting, ***. So i go and look and there is oil just pouring out of the red head gear. What the hell is this? I checked the bolts on the red head top and they're tight. UGHHHHH.

From what I've read they're warranty is 12 months. Now to go rent pitman arm puller again and battle the damn steering gear. Damnit!
