Power Steering Fluid Leak

[swimbikerun247]

I've got a pretty bad power steering fluid leak that appears to be coming from the steering sector. I have a parts truck that I was considering swapping the sectors, but thought I'd ask here first. Are there seals in the steering sector that could be replaced as opposed to swapping out the whole thing?

What year is your truck and parts truck. You can buy rebuild kits for the box and the pump.

Mine is an 86 turns out the parts truck is an 85 and won't help out any in this situation. I drained the power steering system and refilled with Lucas Automatic Transmission Fluid and went to town with some brake cleaner to isolate where the leak was coming from. Turns out it's leaking pretty badly from the steering play adjustment (not sure what to call it) but on top of the power steering box there are 4 bolts and in the middle is the slotted bolt with a nut to adjust steering wheel play and alot of fluid is leaking from there. I was curious if anyone has a blow out diagram of the power steering box? I feel for certain that there is some kind of o-ring, seal, washer, or something that I can replace there to fix the problem. Anyways I tried to take some pics but it was hard to get a good view of anything.

Hard to tell but the sector shaft seal may be bad as well in the lower side.

I've got a PS pump for an 87 from way back when I had my old 4Runner if you need it.

What do you want for it? My pump is still good I believe, it's the box that is leaking. I still may be interested in having a backup.
