I did that same job and its not that bad, it is super messy

Wished mine was that simple, I have to remove the staked rod and get to that one as thats the one leaking for me. I have some fluid inside the cab, but barely enough and haven't had to top it off in years.

Got it back in place. It was a b!+c# to put those 4 nuts back on behind the break pedal under the dash. I had to use like 20 extensions jk
Time for me to invest on some good ones. Next task is to buy intakemanifold gasket, knock sensors with plugs and more gaskets. I brought this up from Texas, definitely some dry rot and gasket replacement needed.

Thats about how many extensions I used, 1 out of the 4 bolts its really a pita.

Welp,
Looks like.ill just replace the whole thing. Its leaking again, I must not had tighten the bolts well enough, that or the power steering pump reservoir is dirty and will just break any seal I put on it..

Maybe a pump flush would help next time.
