Ok so I finally tracked down my powersteering fluid leak that has been haunting me for a long time and making a real mess out of my truck.

I have power steering fluid coming out of the bottom drain hole underneath the brake fluid reservoir unit, right were it meets up with the hydrolic booster. But i have no idea why or from where in the booster its coming from.

Has anybody had this problem and/or know how to fix it?? And if I could do it myself with my moderate/good mechanic skills or if its a big project?

it was leaking slowly for a long time but i think today it may have stepped it up a notch and i need to get after it quick. ANY help would be greatly appreciated?
 
sounds like you need a hydro-boost unit. DO NOT add steer aid or any other magic sealer in a can! all that is is a chemical that soften an swells bad seals. then will rapidly deteriorate them. Then, you'll be doin a box and pump too.
