What to do if power steering box leaks?

Loosen the clamp by squeezing it with pliers, then pull the hose and connection off. Loosening the power steering reservoir cap can help speed up the draining. Once the fluid stops dripping, follow the hoses from the pump to the power steering box and disconnect them at that end. There may still be some fluid that leaks out.
