Help Identifying leak above Pitman arm

[JacksonT]

Hey All,

I've just noticed this leak on my TJ Wrangler.

I need some help diagnosing it but it looks like a power steering leak?

I'd start by checking if any fluids are low and then clear that area up and check it every drive to see where it's coming from.

I would call it a seep at best from the looks of it. Agree with above. Clean it up, check fluid level to help identify. I would add some p.s. stop leak to the reservoir if low and see if that does the job. But it looks very minor to me. If the fluid level isn't dropping leave it alone and just keep an eye on it. That bit of moisture could have taken years to form.

Perhaps add a UV tracer dye to the power steering fluid and then check it with a UV lamp a week later. That will tell you if it is an active PS leak, and if so, where exactly it is coming from.

Agree.
