Mine leaked for years, not that bad though. You could try some leak stop (just add to your PS reservoir.

Rock Auto has the gear boxes for $250 + core, autozone carries them for slightly more.

It's not a bad DIY, just need the right tools (HUGE socket, 42mm I think, and pitman arm puller).

Edit: I just replaced mine a month or so ago, and could give you a quick write up if you want, it's pretty straight forward.

I did have a small leak that I controlled with leak stop, but this is significant enough to take the next step. Damn that is a huge socket, might need that writeup! Thanks!


Guess this gives me an excuse to install my SLR steering kit too. (and put off headers)
