Re: Leaky steering box
Depends where it is leaking from.There is a bottom plate where the light switch clips on.This plate is scewed to the box with 2,1/4 screws.The plate has a tube swedged to it which extends up inside the steering box.This tube often is loose or broken causing a leak into the light switch.You can buy this plate or repair yours.There is a gasket between the plate and the box.The other comon leak is caused by worn steering shaft bushings/shaft,which should be repaired.A thicker gear oil that can be obtained from restoration supply in Ca. will slow down the leak.
