Yesterday, I noticed<br>a big wet stain on the cardboard I keep under the car on the garage floor.<br>It was under the front, right between the wheels. I thought it was the<br>brakes leaking, but I looked at them, and they're OK. So I'm thinking it's<br>the steering box leaking.<br><br>What can I do? Do I have to replace it again?<br><br>Lori & The Baroness<br><br>-- <br>"I wrestled with reality for 36 years, and I'm happy to say I've finally<br>won out over it."<br> ---Elwood P.
