I have a 1984 FC35 and my power steering pump is leaking around the shaft. A surprise as I replaced the pump 2 years ago with a new unit from BB. I'm wondering if the leakage is related to drive belt tension. I recently reset belt tensions using a deflection gauge and am curious if others have had the same problem. It seems I'm faced with a choice between a slipping drive belt or a leaking shaft packing.

Can the pump be rebuilt? Is there a more reliable replacement pump?

Please disregard my earlier question. I got into the front end this a.m. and found out the source of the leak was a loose connection on the discharge of the power steering pump. Easy fix. Not related to drive belt tension.
