    Hey butterbean1977, I don't know about that, I'm old school, and don't remember vacuum having anything to do with power steering. It's run from a pump off the accessory drive( on semi's)I've used Lucas power steering sealer, and it slowed down the leak considerable, but as with anything, it just puts off the inevitable. Check your hoses for a rub through before going any farther.
