Power Steering Pump Leak

[jakecorn]

Guys, I have a 2004 Dodge Ram Diesel with leak at power steering pump. Can't see where leak is for sure but is by pump and resevoir. Can't seem to find new pump for this model truck at PSC or Borgenson and not sure want to replace with any other aftermarket. Can I just replace the seals in the pump? Pump works great, just leaks. If so where do I get seal kit? Or is it possible to upgrade power steering pump with one from newer model Dodge.

Very often the leak is from the o-ring that seals the rez to the pump body. It can be replaced.

That said, if yours is the original PS pump you should serioulsy consider upgrading to the 2008 version which is a drop in fit as long as you buy the larger 2008 pitman arm as well,

It is a MUCH more robust box then the one you have now.

Any idea how or where to get oil ring?

You are sure it isn't the reservoir cap that is leaking?
