A steering seal diagnostic system includes a steering linkage that is operatively connectable to a pair of road wheels. The steering seal diagnostic system also includes a sealed compartment containing at least a portion of the steering linkage. The steering seal diagnostic system further includes a pressure sensor positioned to detect an internal pressure within the sealed compartment over a range of travel of the steering linkage, wherein a pressure change lower than a pressure change threshold indicates a leak condition of the sealed compartment.
