I have a ford 3000 with power steering. power steering isn't working. Pump is pumping fluid up to the steering gear box. There is fluid coming out of one of the holes for the tubing down to the hydraulic cylinders. How do I tell if the gear box is working properly? (If I turn the steering wheel should the amount of fluid increase coming out of the hole down to the cylinder?)
2nd ? The pump is an aftermarket pump. The fill hole on the pump is on the left side. I'm wondering if the pump is on wrong. It seems like the fill hole should be on the stop, not the side.
3rd ? Should the pump be full of power steering fluid? With the fill hole on the side, it's less that half full.
Thank you in advance for your advise.
