Hello there,
I have a 1980 Bedford bus (with Isuzu motor) that has done god knows how many miles.
My power steering box is leaking oil.
Any ideas on the possible cause? or how to fix it?
regards,
Robert

Leaking seal and worn part required a pump overhaul or replacement.they are usually replaced.However, many times leaking pump can be resealed if an overhaul is elected.Consult the factory manual first for details and proper procedures.
After a repair has been made to the power steering system,bleeding will be necessary to remove trapped air and to obtain a correct fluid level.Refere to the factory manual for bleeding procedures on the specific vehicle being serviced.
