Cub Cadet 1872 Power Steering

[chevyholics1]

I am new to this forum. I have a 1989 Cub Cadet 1872 with hydrostat,hydraulics, and power steering. I was recently mowing with it and it started pumping hydraulic oil up through the steering column and is coming out under the steering wheel and running down all over the transmission cover and even onto the running boards(foot rests). I haven't checked into it yet,but can anyone tell me what happened or how to go about fixing it? Is there a seal at the bottom of the steering column that may have blown out? Any info or help would be appreciated. Thank You, Paul Bowers

I don't think anyone is going to be able to provide an answer for your question. Several hydraulic lines attach to a box at the bottom of the steering column. You are going to have to disassemble until you can get a clear view of where the leak is occurring and post that before an answer can be given.
