Re: Steering box leak
I never had the problem. Not being in front of a car, I remember the tilt of the steering assy such that the fill is below that point. Like i said I'm not in front of a car so I can't verify.

Re: Steering box leak

Re: Steering box leak
I guess I misunderstood the question. Are you filling the box on the bench and laying it down on its side? set it up to it's approximate position and angle in the car first then check for leaks.

Perhaps this like the petcocks on a Model T? Fill until the upper petcock lets it leak out? Joe K
