MF 88 Power steering leak

[johnnyo34]

Hello, I just picked up a 1959 MF88. Will have to do a ring job, but also the power steering has a leak just above the front axle. It is leaking at the bottom. Can anyone tell me if there is a seal there or am I looking at something bigger. The fan pulley also wobbles & I'm assuming there is a bearing in there..
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like lower spindle oil seal needs replaced. Have a 85 diesel with same leak, have not fixed yet. To replace seal steering assembly needs to come apart as shaft comes out the bottom, will not be a quick and easy job.

Thanks for your reply. Think I'm going to have to take it all off including the rad. I'm going to replace rings & bearings also, got some raw oil coming out the exhaust manifold.. But I think it'll make a nice tractor when done.. Forgot to mention it's a gas engine.
