Thank you in advance and sorry if this was ask before

 

I would look at your brake lines. Might have a balloon in one. I would flush the brakes. If they didn't change the fluid when they changed the brakes, it would be a good idea to do so. Might just have air in the lines. As for the light, you have to have the codes read by a dealer, or an independant shop with the right scanner. That will tell you where to look. Might just be a wheel speed sensor. Do your brakes squeak or kick off a lot of dust? if so, this will trigger it ...

Are you leaking from the heads or valve covers? Heads are weak on these, and the main concern would be coolant leaking. Keep you eye out for coolant loss..

Not sure on the pump. Might just change the fluid and add some Lucas to it.

 

If your anti lock is on, as already mentioned, get it to a dealer and don't drive it much in the mean time.

 

I'm about 99% sure a brake fluid flush (proper) would solve your soft pedal problem. If you just change the pads and compress the caliper without then flushing the fluid you will fill your lines with air. You can buy a Motiv bleeder for $55 and do it yourself or pay a dealer twice that+ to do it for you. Brake fluid flush is the easiest thing to do on your own if you have the proper tools.

Compressing th calipers will not cause air to enter the system.
He needs to do as I suggested and have the codes read.

 

How do you figure? You remove the resevoir cap to compress the caliper, then install the pads. If you don't flush the system the first time you press the pedal you will create air bubbles in the lines.

Hey Chris
how do I do a proper flush? Can i buy "one man bleeding" tool?
tks.

 

I wouldn't do it, I have seen a few people on here not get it right. Just get a buddy tohold the pedal for you

 

Your oil leak is probably valve covers, not heads. As for your steering box: For a temporary fix, get some silicone sealant or rtv, clean off the top of the steering box with brake cleaner or something similar, loosten thenut, being sure to hold the allen screw in place, apply the sealant under the nut, and re-tighten, being careful not to move the allen screw. It's important that the allen screwis in the same position when you're finished.I did this fully expecting to shell out the $$$$ for a new box soon, but this fixhas heldon my truck for about30,000 miles, and still holdin.

 

EDIT: Sorry about this.I found a more recent thread on power steering gear box leak and it's pretaining to exactly my problem.
