    I ran over one of those barrel cones out in cali. And it damaged my power steering. The power steering fluid leaked now the steering wheel is stiff.
    Can someone tell me what part this is where it’s leaking from. It’s a power steering hose connected below the radiator.

    Unless that truck has two steering boxes I’d think that hose probably goes to a cooler. If it does you could plug it and fill the reservoir until you get it home.

    Don't run the motor with no oil in the reservoir or the steering pump will be burned out and it will be hard to steer till you get to a shop, get oil and fill the p/s. up and get to a place to fix it?

    i'd call for a wrecker and have it towed. better to pay for a tow, than hundreds if not thousands of dollars in repairs.
