I haven't leaked a drop since replacing the power steering.

I could tell it was coming from the power steering pump area, I just couldn't find the source of the leak. I didn't want to tear it apart, have to wait for parts, then put it together. I am thinking I might have tightened the belt to much and the power steering seal might have been damaged. I did find out GM has a TSB for the 06-07's (mine is 08 but most of it was built in 07), if PS leaking then dealer was to replace the high pressure hose. I talked to Kevin at partstaxi.com and he gave me the part number for the new GM replacement hose, but that didn't fix it. On CF, I found several cases of bone stock C6's that had leaking PS pump, but nearly all were covered by warranty and for some reason, I was thinking GM may not honor the warranty due to my bolt ons.
By the way, I checked with Kartech, proper tension for their manual belt tensioner is 25 lb-ft.
Now on to my next problem, tranny is starting to slip when I come down on it. I am talking to Ed @ VA Speed, probably will have him take care of it and a couple of upgrades, but that is another thread.
