Hey guys, I just bought a Ford 3400 at a good price. Everything about the tractor is nice and sound except when I started pushing is a bit. All of a sudden power steering fluid started pouring out around the steering wheel. Honestly I don't know exactly where around the steering wheel its leaking. And i really couldn't tell if I was getting much help from the power steering in the first place. It seemed hard to steer from the get go. I understand that it may be a O-ring seal. So I shut it down and didn't finish cutting the pasture. So, I'm wondering what kind of damage I've done? Is there a high risk of tearing up the gears or pump if I continued to cut? Even if I kept pouring power steering fluid in? All I have is auto power steering fluid. As if I haven't made myself out to be a novice yet. This is my first tractor with power steering.

Thanks guys for your help!
