Power steering gear box leaks (pictures)

It does sound pretty intimidating, but I’m willing to try it. Can this be done with a basic set of wrenches? Or any special tools I’ll need to purchase? I’ll check the “how to” section of this forum for some more guidance.

As for the “dropping” the steering, I assume this is to pull the steering shaft forward through the firewall to get clearance to reach the seal?

Car feels ok driving (very loose) with a fair amount of play in the steering wheel.

I don’t have a factory service manual but was able to get a Haynes one off eBay.

If anyone else is following any of my other posts, first on the list is my shift shaft seal on the tranny (just waiting on the tool delivery) and this will be next.
