I'm pretty sure it's oil

Thats pretty dark fluid and steering is usually reddish from what I last remember, been a while having to add any. Pull the dipstaick and you will know will quick if its oil. Is the main pulley sitting straight up, does it wobble at all if you push it. If so main seal n bearing could have gone?

Well damn finally got my jeep back and this is what they replaced

Engine crank shaft seal

Water pump

Serpentine belt

Power steering pump

Engine tensioner and belt

Serpentine belt

But now I hear a hissing sound coming from my front right engine bay, and it only stops when I lock my steering wheel all the way to the left and right! Anyone know what that is??? Sounds like air is leaking out I can hear it from inside the cabin and coming from the foot well of the front passenger side

Do I need to bleed my power steering?

And when my jeep is on idle looks like my power steering fluid is bubbling is this normal?


They also performed the n28 recall. Replace power steering return tube , transmission oil cooler tube and its says in my paper work they bled the power steering hydraulic system


Please some help, hopefully I can fix this at home and not without a vehicle again

Glad to hear your rig is back and that was quite a list but the only thing I can think of for the hiss is an vacum line. Does your ac/heater switch between modes, floor to dash to defrost, etc? Not sure what else it would be
