Had the RTS up for service and noticed a little discoloration in the bottom seal area of the power steering unit. Maybe slight seepage. It is where the inner tie rods connect. Know it is a electric motor setup, but wondering if it has sealed lubrication. Something to look at when servicing.

but pretty sure it is a sealed unit. Could be assembly residue or some other source..:dontknow:

Knew it was a sealed unit. Seepage is from the bottom seal. I'll try to snap a picture.

Couldn't get the picture close enough. Have to pull covers off. Waiting until end of the month. Also, looked it up in the parts manual and it is serviced as a sealed unit. Stands to reason that there would have to be some form of lubrication and that would require seals.
