Ford 3910

I have a 3910. It is dripping powersteering fluid on the tranny behind the gear sticks.Where is it coming from and how do I stop it.

Change the filter in the power steering pump. It"s coming from the top seal in the power steering. Change the PS filter ASAP so that you don"t do any more damage to the seal.

Thanks, do you think that I should replace the seal or will it be ok? Will changing the filter make it stop leaking? I just bought this tractor and Im not very familiar with its workings. Dumb question... where is the filter? Thanks for your help!!

The filter is in the reservoir on the pump. I don't think changing the filter will help the leaking seal, but that is just my opinion.

I agree, thanks for the help.

It"s in the pump housing and when I changed mine the leak stopped. I think it was backpressuring the return line.
