55.2-59 hydroboostleak

[FAKKY]

So.
Buttoning everything up still ....
Went to charge AC ...... so put the belt on and started here up.

Huge leak out of the TOP of the steering gear (R&P) near the shaft to steering.
So I have to determine if I have a bad (new) gear .... bought it 3 years back not thinking how long this would all take.

Or did I plumb high/low pressure wrong ...... etc.

PIcs.


Leaks here ^^^ out by C retaining clip.


Pump out goes to hydroboost on left.
(low pressure goes back to TOP 1 of 2 return inlets in pump resevoir.)
Then comes out the high side on the right and does down to ....



Connects here on Right side of PUMP gear.
Left side is return back to lower inlet to resevoir.
