Default Power Steering fluid leak in the front under radiator.

I thing this leak comes from the high pressure line from under the radiator, but I'm not sure, I've also been looking for threads on how to replace this pressure hose and no one has the dyi with pics. Is there anyone that has done it? I need help... Thanks in advance

Is it defo the HP line or LP line? or maybe even the steering box seal? You need to establish exactly what and where it's leaking.

Check out the RAVE D2 workshop manual online and ID the lines first and follow their procedure id you need to. It usually is the easiest or best.

problem is that all the lines, pump,steering box, and reservoir are over there.
i would put uv dye in it and find out for sure where it is coming from.

Deal with it sooner rather than later for a couple of reasons. First you might lose the PAS and unless you're Hercules it's impossible to steer the truck and second PAS fluid is ATF and aggressively corrosive and toxic.

I replaced the PS line that runs under the radiator. I did it when I had the radiator pulled. After it was pulled, replacing it is easy. The p/n is QEP105481

The metal pipe that is under the radiator was rotted on mine.

Here is a thread where the radiator wasn't pulled:

Yeah! Probably. I used that DIY last weekend to replace mine, went like a charm, took about 4 hours going easy and taking my time to clean everything.
