DA> Nice. What kind of tires do you have?

Definity Dakota tires from Pep Boys.  It is a 2001 Durango that I keep around 
to haul things and drive in the snow.  It has a power steering leak that I need 
to track down when the weather gets warmer.  I can't tell if it is coming from 
the cooler or the high pressure line - or even the pump itself.

I was looking at it today and there was little bits of fluid flinging up as the 
fan was turning.  It could be from the cooler - but really hard to tell.  I'm 
going to have to lift it and check from below.  

If the issue is the cooler, that is an easy fix.  I will just bypass it since 
this truck never had a stock cooler for power steering.  It was added years 
later when I swapped the power steering pump from a junk vehicle.  

If I can't figure out where it is leaking - and rule out the rack, I'll just 
order a new power steering pump and high+low pressure lines and replace all of 
it.
