I have a Demon with power steering. The problem I'm having is the steering gearbox has a leak coming from the pressure return valve area. I replaced the two o rings. Reinstall still leaked... A little worse. Took it back apart. Dried the mating surfaces. Applied rtv... Let it dry overnight. Start it up. Didn't leak. Turn the wheels lock to lock....Took a look....Leak still there. Anyone else ever had this problem and what was the fix?
 
Manual steering box! :thumbsup:

But on the serious side, clean everything up and look for cracks. If something is cracked you won't be able to stop the leak. Inspect the mating surfaces for the o-rings, etc.
 
Make sure the valve is flat, not warped from over torquing.
