My father in law has a 69 ford 3500 Industrial tractor with the three cylinder Diesel engine and 4 speed transmission.
The power steering pump is using fluid. After filling it, it will run out in about 20 min or so. We cleaned everything up and checked for a leak but there is not one visible. I assume that it's leaking into the timing cover. Is this possible?
If that's the case, can we just replace a seal or is a new pump the only way to go? When there's fluid in it, the pump works just fine.
