I have a 91 ford explorer and I woke up this morning and go outside and see a puddle under my truck. I start it and it makes a lound humming noise and I look and my power steering pump was low so I filled it and looked around underneath and saw it was dripping off of the frame under my truck what do I do and how can I fix this I dont have money I really really live check by check so can someone please help!

Hello,

Open the hood and see if you can tell were exactly it is leaking from. If it is leaking from the driver frame it is possibly a seal in the Steering Gear Box. Or maybe one of the hoses has a hole right there by the gear box. Check it out and post findings here.

I have looked under the truck and it comes directly from under the pump. I see no holes in the hoses but under where the steering rod from the steering wheel connects to I guees the gear box you can see where fluid has gummed up from sitting the from over time. I do drive the truck on a daily basis to work and back or whereever if that helps on the wear and tear detail. But I do do donuts or nothing in it like that fish tail here and there but nothing hardcore.
