I'm driving from Virginia to Kentucky this summer for some wheeling (first time the kids and wife are all going), and I'm trying to get my Jeep in good shape, and to also pack all the spare parts that I could need. One thing that's been on my mind is my front Dana 30 axle. I've got an Aussie...

The mystery unfolds.
I had originally thought the power steering pump was bad because when backing up out of my driveway there was a dark puddle on the driver side of the vehicle. Well the same thing happened today and I looked a bit closer. It smells like gear lube and I can see this on my...
Does this power steering box look like it's leaking to you guys? I'm not sure at what point a steering box leak becomes bad enough to pay attention to. The fluid level is still fine and it looks like this is a pretty small leak.
