Leaking Power Steering on New Truck

[bigdave18629]

I have searched the forum for similar problems but did not find any threads. I have put 450 miles on my 2014 Raptor and have had to refill the power steering reservoir twice. The first time I just blamed it on an under fill at the factory or dealer, 3 days later I am well below the minimum again. I can't see an obvious leak and will be taking it back to the dealer, who of course at this time has no idea what it might be. Any thoughts or similar experiences? (not any off road fun yet either)

Sounds like a bad line. Someone just had a similar issue.

It's eating it. You should see evidence of a leak if you're losing that much.

Thanks Yukon, I did but that thread speaks primarily to an aftermarket install and only mentions slight weeping on the factory reservoir, mine was well beyond weeping and is in for warranty. Great start, I hope it gets better from here.
