I knew when i bought it, it had this leak. Its getting worse, but i just need the comfort to know, that it is the power steering leaking and not a new problem. I've never worked on cars, so i would love some tips on how to make sure its just the power steering leaking. Its red in colour, dripping about a foot back from bumper. closer to driver side, dirping down from a arm? dont know how to describe, but what do i do, go to know its the power steering. Any ideas why it would go from just a few drips over night to some days a puddle?

 

Either a hose or a seal is failing.
How many miles on your truck?
It is common to have the hoses failat around 100,000.
I would suggest you find a mechanic to check and repair cause it can be a real job, especially if the pump or gear box is leaking also.

 

Like Mike said, check your hoses, the clamps are probally bad. Replace them with new ones. If you degrease the engine you will have better luck finding the leak.
