I was under my 08QC 1500 this weekend changing the oil and noticed that there was a good amount of grease on part of the power steering rack. I dont have a picture of it or now how to describe the part exactly but it looks like the part that is connected from the power steering rack (which connects to the wheels) and up to the steering wheel. The bottom of this part has what looks like a nut and that is the part that has dark grease on it. Steering is fine but i dont want to run into a problem down the road because I didnt address an issue. Sorry for the horrible description but any input is great.

I think this is a common problem but i seen the same thing a few months ago. I decided to clean and monitor it so far no leak that i can find and no more oil.

Yeah. I'll clean it up and just keep an eye on it like you did. I checked the fluid level and it is just above the minimum line
