Scouts West

I have replaced power steering box have replace power steering reservoir and power steering pump and I'm still getting a leak when the car is sitting for a long time. I have checked and double-checked all hoses connectors I can't find any active leak it is driving me nuts any ideas?

First off... That is a BUCK for call the Scout a car.

When you replaced all these things, did you replace the hoses also?
Did you put teflon tape on the threads?
Is the hose clamp tight enough?
Did you over tighten and cause a hairline crack?

I had this problem before i replaced everything. First i replaced the box and all the hoses and he problem improved but still there. So replaced the reservour and pump.. the fluid drips from the frame rail in front of the steering box.

Teflon tape only goes on pipe threads.

Brain Fart on my end. Not sure why I even said that.
