Would it effect the power steering because we did have it until it started bubbleing out the shifter and the power steering hoses are new.I haven't put the 90 w.gear oil in yet.

If the hydraulic fluid is leaking into the trans then yes it will affect your steering and all of your hydraulics, no oil no hydraulics. It is a simple fix as long as it is just the gasket, well you will need 2 gaskets as there is the hydraulic oil pan sandwiched between 2 gaskets.

Have you had that deck plate off around the shift? There are just 4 bolts holding it on. There's a steel line that runs under it. I wonder if that's cracked or something,blowing oil over toward the shift?

You still haven't said whether the hydraulic oil level has been low and you've had to keep topping it off. That would imply a leak. Bubbling out of the shifting lever base showed up in my 1850 row crop twenty years ago. I'd been having to top off the hydraulic oil. After an hour or two in the field I'd lose pressure to the implement cylinder. Shortly after the power steering would go. (power steering has priority over the remotes)
Talked to the dealer and he said the possibilities were an O ring or a couple seals. Or a leak in the hydraulic oil pan itself. In my case it turned out to be the O ring behind the hydraulic pump where it bolts to the top cover. On my 1850 there's a vertical rod that extends through the hydraulic oil pan. It has an Oring/seal that bolts to the pan, that's a possibility. Or the pump itself. This summer my 2-70 lost pressure and dumped the oil into the transmission, turned out an internal seal in the pump went. New pump, back in business.
