I had my AC fixed and now when I first turn it on it squeals for a few minutes. Not a big deal but I noticed a leak on the driveway about a week ago. Fast forward to today and I finally got around to looking at it. I assumed Valve cover because my friend that went through the truck after I bought it mentioned one was leaking a little. It is actually the back side of the Power Steering pump leaking like crazy. Is it time for a new Power Steering pump?

I would go around and tighten all the connections on the pump. If they worked on the a/c, they probably removed some of the ps stuff to get to the compressor. There's a valve that connects to vacuum lines that I had problems with leaking. Usually if its a seal, its the front of the pump that leaks.
If just tightening doesn't fix, seal kits are cheap for these and its pretty easy to replace them all. The heat in the engine bays tend to kill the seals in these. Just make sure you don't run the pump dry or you will be buying an entire pump.
