[V8] Leaking Steering Pump

[Ron Wainwright]

LOL, you know I don't even need to click the link to know who that tool is! I've talked to him before.
 It's too bad that 5sp & the 4.2 motor are going to sit there till the guy gets a clue as to what stuff costs.
 Then when he does I wouldn't offer him a dime more than $500 for that motor.... looks like it needs a complete going through!
