    Power Steering Issues

    2001 w/92,000mi - I've been noticing a groaning noise from the front end when I'm turning the wheel at low speeds. This morning I saw a foot wide puddle of thin, odorless, seemingly non-viscous, brownish fluid on the garage floor under my truck. I'm assuming for now that it's power steering...

    Can I replace the valve guides with the heads on the truck?

    I've got a couple of bad valve guides on the drivers side and it's using oil. I'd love to just throw some better heads on there but I really don't have the money. Can the valve guides be replaced (with the right tools) with just the valve covers and cam removed, or do I have to pull the head?

    How bad is it to drive around with a couple bad valve seats?

    I'm pretty convinced my #1 and #2 cylinders have valve issues. I've got crusty white build up on both those plugs every time I check them (ash deposits = burning oil, it's not lean) thick build up on them too. I change the plugs every other oil change and those two are like that every time. It...
