I was pumping some lubricant under a couple pounds of pressure with a plastic bottle with a nipple in the front support and the steering gear both came leaking out like a sieve is that normal does it have an overflow port or is that a problem thank you

it was leaking out around both SHAFAT SEALS ? Pumping with a squeeze bottle and hose, i assume you were using something like 80-90w .

I was using the oil that the manual called for it was hard to tell I think it was leaking from the top mostly where I couldn't really see where it was coming from there is a slow leak around the bottom seal I know about that

this is a print of the CA front gearbox on a narrow front end... The WIDE front will be the same, but the casting is not so tall.  Oil will leak out if the seals are old and hard, or if the bearings are worn and allow the shaft to WOBBLE and damage the two seals...  This is why many people will change from gear lube to a pourable grease.. Something THICK that will flow, but harder to leak past the old seals......... Your other option is to disassemble and new seals / bearings..

If you PUMP the oil in under pressure i guess its possible to leak out around the #6 gasket at the top... Would be overfull ??
