SOURCE: Leakage of Power Steering
It's not the wheel bearing! If your sure it's not brake fluid, but power steering fluid you have a leaking power steering hose. Take a rag and wipe down both hoses, fill the reservoir and with engine running have someone turn the steering wheel all the to the right and then left while you watch for leaks. The hose that comes out of the bottom of the pump is the high pressure hose, and the hose that goes into the reservoir is the low pressure hose. You can buy replacement power steering hoses at a auto parts store or a Ford dealer. I would replace both given the age of your van but you can replace just the leaky one. Use a flare nut wrench or open end wrench and remove the hose(s) from the steering box first and have a container to catch the fluid that wil drain out of the reservoir and hoses. Refill the reservoir and turn the steering wheel back and forth to remove air bubbles (engine running). Check fluid level and check for leaks at the fittings.
SOURCE: leaking power steering fluid from steering gear
Ok, in this case, you will need to replace the entire assembly. this is best. replace the power steering pump as well. If the hoses are worn, replace them as well.
SOURCE: transmision ax4n not working
Possible bad valve body in transmission or a clogged transimission filter. The only way to check either is to pull the transmission pan.
SOURCE: passenger seat doesnt move forward or back
that motor has eithe become jammed or has gone bad. Sometimes u can replace the moor itself or you have to get a whole new seat sub-frame that has the motor assemblies on them already. getting the seat frame is the easiest repair as switching the motors can be time consumiing and difficuly if you loose a screw or washer.
SOURCE: leaks red fluid, hesitates on take off sometimes
this is tranny fluid. ive had the problem myself. its most likely a hose that goes from the tranny to the tranny cooler that is located at the front of the car and is sometimes part of your radiator. get this fixed ASAP

Hi larbear , I want to help you with your question, but I need more information from you. Can you please add details in the comment box?
I was thinking afterward that it may not have been apparent that I am talking about a 706 Farmall tractor. It is a 1967 model and is diesel. Besides the shifter linkage having a certain amount of play in it, it seems to move through the gears ok but when you turn at low revs the tractors forward motion becomes hesitant.
