power steering leaking at steering wheel

[TxHorns]

Power steering fluid is leaking from the big piece that my steerign wheel is attached to (the outside of my console). Does anybody have any ideas as to what this could be? is it just overfilled? It's been leaking for a little while now and I'd think if it was overfilled then it would have gotten to the right presure by now, but not sure. Thanks for the help.

You sure it's not hydraulic steering? Sounds like a small seal leak in the helm.

After that, all ya gotta do is install the seal, 'n bleed the system....
