If you plan on installing the steering shaft retainer with tube Bratton's P/N 5030, make sure you clean out the inside of the steering shaft as will probably be caked with gunk and will twist off the tube if you do not clean it out. A bore brush for cleaning guns soaked in Lacquer Thinner works. The other area where leaks occur is the steering sector shaft. Look at Bratton's P/N 5330. After doing all this will still drip now and then with 600W oil, but a lot less than before.
