Ok I sold my truck and bought a 1989 GT with 110,000 miles it runs and drives great but the power steering pump reservoir appears to be leaking I was just wondering if this was a common problem.....

Perhaps you should post a bigger picture, I didn't quite run out of room on my mouse pad trying to scroll over. =\

Anyway, find out why it's leaking and fix it. Could be a crack someplace. You'll need to clean it up really well to see it though.

Lol, sorry for the big picture. I will try cleaning it up tomorrow and see what I have...... A new reservoir is $16.00 so I will probably go ahead and buy one....

My 95GT has a similar issue around 130K miles.

before buying parts make sure you are certain that is the prob...it could just be the o-ring that the resevoir uses to seal to pump case
