The Silverado is leaking power steering fluid, as of today. I saw a nice wet spot on the driver side frame, and sure enough, it's dripping wet from right under the brake reservoir. Looks like there's 2 gaskets on it, and it's wet underneath both of them. My guess is it's the middle one that's leaking, but I wiped off the whole thing with de-greaser so we'll see what it's like in the morning. Any tips before I replace them? It doesn't look too difficult, but who knows. I took some pics for your viewing pleasure...

so you think I have to do the whole unit?
Update:
Took me a while, but I got it done yesterday, or so I thought. It still leaks the same amount or worse then before. The steering is better, since you have to do a full fluid flush, but it's still peeing like crazy. I'll tackle it again tomorrow; hopefully it's a bad hose, and not something in the hydro-boost unit. That thing is a royal pain to get off the firewall!
