I could tell I had a leak somewhere in the power steering system due to fluid being found on the various parts. The system seemed to work fine other than the noise until 2 days ago the power steering went out completely. I checked the reservoir and it was basically empty. I refilled the reservoir and had power steering for about one turn of the steering wheel and it went out again. I looked under the truck and all the fluid that I had just put in was on the ground (almost a full quart). I would think it would have to be one of the hoses to lose this much fluid this quickly. Am I correct in my thinking? Could it be some other part of the system that could leak that fast?

That's plenty fast to find it: It's more likely to be fast on pressured hose NOT return ones but could be anywhere fluid goes. The trucks w assorted packages and options could have PS fluid in line to a cooler at radiator, any from pump to box and return lines. OTHER! Look and see if this has "Hydroboost" power brakes? A maybe and easy to see there NO vacuum booster it's PS fluid under pressure to boost that too and an accumulator to reserve some pressure if engine is off the typical set up for those. So: Wipe the mess all off as best you can, DRY with whatever it takes in disposable towels everywhere it goes. Do look at the brakes if equipped it may not be. Last was a cooler in front of radiator for me was rotted was dirt cheap but a pest like anything. Can try to bypass that if sure for now is/was an in stock item I was shocked. Do not use a saw to cut metal hose use tubing cutter tools no filings in lines being replaced. Don't wait you'll burn out pump if not already wrecking other stuff so get on this could be cheap and doable or a nightmare can't know you have to find it, T Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Nov 1, 2019, 9:46 AM Post #3 of 3 (1142 views) Re: 2002 Silverado Power Steering Leak Sign In You most likely have a bad hose somewhere, most likely the pressure hose but you need to actually look for the leak on the car, not on the Internet. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
