ID:	257950so after a weekend playing in Azusa Canyon OHV i found this fluid leak. also on the way out of the ohv i started to hear some clunking coming from the front end. i thought the sound was coming from a loose stud from my rough country quick disconnects(the stud on the driver side was kind of lose. my swaybars were disconnected on the way out. the clunking/thumping sound would start when the jeep would articulate a bit and go over bumps. any guess whats happening with my jk? also i currently have some fluid coming out of my axle tube seal(the dealership replaced my ujoint on the front driver and messed the seal). HELP

Looks like your steering pump is leaking from what I can see in the pictures

If you push on the pitman arm where the tie rod is, is there any up/down play?
