Hi, I'm a newbie to dodge/cummins. I recently bought a '94 with 232,xxx truck runs great and has a 5 speed. I love the truck and it runs great. Only one problem, I had the pitman arm leak so I put new gearbox on it. I don't think I bled the system right according to the instructions. Anyways everything was fine till about 3 days later. Now I have a pretty good oil leak (about a 1/4 quart every time I drive) slight belt/pulley squeal, and hard brake pedal () I've done a lot of reading and found a few problem areas on these engines. I'm assuming since I didn't bleed the system that I blew the seal where vacuum pump joins block?? Is the vacuum/brakes/power steering all tied in together? Any help with leak and instructions would be greatly appreciated. It seems like all oil is coming from driver side by power steering reservoir. Thanks

 

yes the gear on the front of the vacuum pump drives it and the p/s pump. clean the motor good with degreaser. a leak that big shouldn't be that hard to find.
