I have a leak in my power steering. Yet my power steering still works when reservoir is full. Hoses look fine. Replaced my power steering pump. Although I haven't been able to pinpoint the source of the leak I derive it is the gear box. I have 3 questions:
1) How many hours would it take a novice with some mechanical knowledge to replace and not muck it up?
2) $150 (approximate) labor cost, is this the better route than tackling on your own?
3) Is it worth repairing? (i.e. if I replace only seals, will the gear box likely run for another 20 years?) This feels like it may cause the most headaches to only save $480 on a new gear box, but looking to see if it is relatively quick.
