Power steering leak

yep.. you can fake those with a washer and oring sometimes... for banjo fittings that give you problems, and where a copper crush washer leaks.. etc.. especially in places where the port is not cut for an ORB

In the past I've gotten bonded washer seals from Ronald at Ranch Hand Supply. They're also available at industrial supply houses like McMaster-Carr, MSC, etc.

Yes, but what's more important is what's under the cap. That said, 22mm isn't an unusual size. I likely have some in my spares. But locally, try a Japanese motorcycle shop. Keep in mind however that it still might be the PRV going bad (or dirty, or in need of adjustment), permitting the pump to push hot fluid past that seal. If the new seals stop the leak AND the steering wheel gets harder to turn as the fluid heats up, stop the tractor. Assuming the new seals continue to hold, you may blow the next weak link in the steering circuit

I have also found them in multi packs at my auto parts store in the Help section and near the oil drain plugs.

Tommy,

I happened to be on a biz trip in Texas last week. I was first in Austin and then off to Houston. I thought "what are the chances Affordable is on the way?". Sure enough, just 10 min off the path. Met your son and he set me right up with new seals.

The bad news is it didn't help. Looked real close with a mirrow and saw exactly where it was coming from. Pulled it one last time to feel a crack. Cracked right between the plugs.

At least I now know what was the issue. I replaced every seal on that dang pump.
