Richard,

It leaks oil on the ground when the wheel is turned all the way to the left or right. I have found out that the steering box needs to be re-built. I have found a place in Houston, TX that can re-built the unit for about 20% of the cost of a new one. So that is what I am going to do.

I have learned that "rubbing" sound that the coach makes when I turn the wheel to make a 90 degree turn is caused from cavitation of the hydraulic fluid. Once the seals are changed the problem should be corrected.

Thanks for your help.
