Re: Power steering leak
First off... That is a BUCK for call the Scout a car.
When you replaced all these things, did you replace the hoses also?
Did you put teflon tape on the threads?
Is the hose clamp tight enough?
Did you over tighten and cause a hairline crack?

Re: Power steering leak
I had this problem before i replaced everything. First i replaced the box and all the hoses and he problem improved but still there. So replaced the reservour and pump.. the fluid drips from the frame rail in front of the steering box.

Teflon tape only goes on pipe threads.
