I have a decent oil leak that seams to be saturated the power steering pump.
I have to rule out coolant and power steering fluid ( fluid is black and old , time for a rrplacement) seeing the levels have never changed. Pretty sure it is oil.
What could be in the vicinity that might leak. Mind you 304,000 miles ! Maybe a seal?

To answer my own question. 20 years and 300,000+ miles I will guess that the front cover seal is leaking in that vicinity

Yeah the front cover will start pissing occasionally from the 3 mating surface junction. Where the bedplate meets the block and the front cover. Not sure if the silicone just wears out over time or something, but when it does leak there it pisses all over the damn place.
