Back home from a road trip and a power steering question.

Back home from a road trip and a power steering question.
My power steering can leaked as did the fittings going to and from
the can.
Bought a new can from BB. Cost $300. It has a vent tube and is a
little bit taller.
Had my local truck shop replace the can and the leaking hoses..not
cheap..had to modify the bottom of can, a little different than the
original. All labor cost was $1,400. A lot of time involved at 90
bucks an hour. No leaks now and tow car staying clean.
Until I had this done, drilled hole in top of can...works but not
for long term.
