I know they all leak.
Mine appears to be leaking too ( TB42 ),
was wondering where the common places for the leak are and how hard it is to fix the leak??
the other thing is, next to the radiator in the passenger side coming off the top powersteering hose there is a small Black thing that looks like a small filter of some sort. zits black with ridges along it like a small air pump sorta....
Is this a filter? is it worth replacing?

On my TD42, there was a small split in one of the hoses. So when I put the locker in and tried to turn abit it would squirt the firwall. Also all the leaking fluid stuffed up the rubber engine mounts and the flex coupling on the steering shaft.
If its the hose or connecters that are leaking on yours. Take it to a Hydrualic joint and the can replace the hose and put new crimps on it. Cost was less than $50 and no more leaks for me.

Check and tighten up all the bolts on the power steering even the small ones champ.
