Power steering pissedness

[Old Goat]

Well I have had the truck 10 1/2 years, and maybe 7 years ago took truck to a shop to have the WP Changed, (winter time) and they said the Power steering pump was leaking, so told them to go ahead. Does not leak where I have to add anything like from dripping on the ground. But is greasy and damp looking, and do add a bit from time to time. Maybe a hose? IDK.

What is the cocktail in the reservoir? Hmmmm...not sure, maybe a mix.
I do have a bottle of Power steering fluid, probably from Wally World.

Truck steers good, no noises.

Remanufactured power steering pumps suck! I went through 3 on my old F150 before I got a decent one. You would be better off using a good used one than a reman.

Unfortunately I think this is the new norm for most all parts store reman parts.

Is this a reliable brand? I'm not opposed to buying new since I don't want to deal with the uncertainty of junkyard parts.
