    I was changing my oil today and found some oil on my skid plate. I started to try to track the origin of the leak and noticed the power steering pump pulley doesn’t have a bolt. It looks like it’s threaded, so I assume it should have one.

    Can anyone confirm whether or not there should be a bolt on this pulley.

    I was considering this might be to attach a pulley puller to it.

    I’m not sure if I just just put a bolt in there or take it to the dealer so they can document it, Incase it’s related to the leak.

    The threaded shaft is for an installing or removing tool.

    I won’t be looking for it. I’m bringing it to the dealer next oil change. The truck has less than 10k miles.

    I was shocked to see an oil leak. Then I came on here and saw dozens of threads where people were complaining of it.
