Greetings All, Just wanted to provide a quick update on my steering leak. It did turn out to be the control valve end cap, this is the disk just below the hose connections in the image above. I was able to remove the control valve only and disassemble and examine on the bench. This end cap has an o-ring and is held in by a snap ring. This o-ring did have a split or crack through the cross section when flexed and was more brittle than the other seals. The control valve has 7 seals in total, I was able to replace 6 of 7 since I was in there. The 7th o-ring is inside the spool and the manual suggests it can be disassembled once due to a nylon pin, since there was no known issue with that component I left it alone. It took 5 part numbers to address the 6 o-rings needed. Many thanks to Emtee for the suggestion to source individually rather than buying an expensive seal kit. I was able to identify them myself and ordered on line. For $18.00 and change I was able to buy in bulk (200+ o-rings in total -lol) including shipping. Everything was reassembled and the car was road tested yesterday and all is dry! Many thanks to all for your help, input and suggestions. Although I ended up with a lot of o-rings this was a very low cost repair that was satisfying and effective. Hopefully this can help others if they run into a similar failure.
Again, many thanks to all for the support.
John
