Unhappy get one thing fixed and fine something else leaking

so i mad the very unwanted trip to the dealer to get my leaky sat radio ant fix yesterday and then today take it pack so they can clean the headline since it had hand prints all over it

So than tonight i was changing the oil and notice the power steering line is leaking pretty good and the reservoir is low

Right where the ruber in pressed into the steel line that runs acrossed the front crossmember

so it look like another fun trip to the dealer next week

so i have two problems in 18000 miles could be worse

Good luck with the fixes. I hate the finger prints from the service guys.

Figured id look around for this issue.. yup. noticed yesterday. The more and more i have to do. i am realizing i hardly ever get under the truck and just look at everything.. I get comfortable just taking it in for oil changes, and fillin it up with gas.

Same issue. filled res just below max line, and its back down to just under min.

i will schedule it for next oil change.

its good to get this stuff fixed now. before warranty is up. glad i got the extended warranty.

I am no expert, but it is a Hydraulic fluid it should always float between the min and max depending on the temp of the fluid.

True, but if you see visible signs of a leak, that's not right.

Wow, tell your dealer you are sick of bringing the truck in and tell them you want a 2011 Super Duty to drive while it's in for repairs.

No the issue is they don't stock any part, so day one is o this is broken well order it and when comes in always in a day or two. Than take it back when the tech who looked it has time to fix always a week later

Same story at all 3 of my local deales

and they don't have any 11's yet but 3 raptors but want dewalt f350
