I have a Ford 4630 and the power steering just froze up. I have fluid in the pump that is located on the left side, front. I loosened the return line and the fluid squirts out even tho it is milky looking. I don"t see any leaks. Should I be looking at the steering box that is located under the steering wheel or is there another way to test the PS? I am at a lose with out this and any help sure would be appreciated.

Water will not build pressure enough like the proper oil, but it should purge out most milky stuff as you feed in new oil. Get only oil to come out of that return line and steering may return. Then find where water is getting in. Usually a gasket gives away- and does it sits outside? I just went through that with my 530CK in the tranny. Some earlier owner used silicon in stead of the 15 dollar gasket and water got into the trans; split it, remove water, put in new oil and good to go.

Milky fluid indicates a prsence of water, and that's a no-no. Change it real fast. Since you still have pressure, it may be sufficient, or it may be low enough to not do the job. Shop manual should tell you how to check it. LE
