The engine had a whine, so I pulled off the belt and isolated it to the power steering pump. Sucked the nasty fluid out and refilled it with a few ounces of Lucas power steering stop leak / lube and fresh power steering fluid. It pretty much took all of the noise away. Dropped the trans pan and the fluid was busted! Not a crazy amount of material in the pan.
Popped in a new filter and some fresh synthetic, hopefully she will hold up for a few if I take it easy. Lastly I changed the oil, figured out that the block is an 07 and required the 22mm filter not the 13/16th.
I couldn't take it anymore and had to address the back window, which required cutting off the rack thing behind the bed.
