powersteering pump seems to be pukin'

[oil_burner]

couple questions for all you all knowin' desiel gurus. Fisrt I'm wondering if there is a seal kit for our P/S pumps? mine seems to be puking fluid from behind the pulley.Next how much oily air should be coming out of the ccv and is this a good indicator of over all engine health?

there is, BUT... if it were me, I'd just buy a reman pump and be done in half-an-hour. Reason being, Ford p/s pumps HATE HATE HATE HATE being run the least little bit low on fluid... they whine and rattle and make all kinds of rude and disgusting noises that only get worse...

I'm a gas engine tech, so I really can't advise ya on the CCV question; needless to say, if you think the engine has excessive blow-by, it probably does....
