Your o ring is leaking, but judging by the fact that you told me you're losing all of the fluid in less than a day, you're leaking fluid elsewhere. Check the cooler to make sure it isn't rusted through. Also check the rubber part of the high pressure line near the rack.

I remember mine looking a little like that... I had to remove the hose for more room to access the timing belt and the thing was completely dry rotted and ended up just ripping off like tearing a wet piece of cardboard. Probably wouldn't hurt to have it replaced.

Don't forget to register it on Earl's list of 92's

Is it landing on the ground? Mine developed a pin hole in one of the lines going to the steering rack . I ended up replacing all of them PITA. They range from $125 to only $35.00 there are 4 or 5 . If I had to do it again I would have them made. Try the O ring trick first . The Tank all pealing means to me this has been a long running problem, Spilled fluid refilling caused that . Make sure you don't use any Power steering fluid . ONLY autoMatic Tranny fluid .
Pictures of the inside and the pass side please .

thanks to GreenSVX aka Mike

we figured out its the Cooler, the fluid is along the rad support and down the side of the rad itself.

i lose allot of fluid, short distance and the pump will cry again.

i will get brake cleaner to clean up all the old fluid once i get the replacement cooler.

did that already.

You said the power steering was leaking now you say the cooler is leaking. So your loosing 6 0z of tranny fluid out of the power steering reservoir tank a day and it is the cooler.:confused:
I know it is cold out but is the A/C working ?

Re: Vexine: 1992 SVX
 

the power steering's cooler.

the a/c did work when i test drove it.
he said it was converted over, but cant remember the type he said.

i'm not leaking tranny fluid, just power steering.

Re: Vexine: 1992 SVX
 

When conn says your leaking tranny fluid, that's what he ment.
SVX doesn't have power steering fluid, It uses ATF.

Re: Vexine: 1992 SVX
 

oh shyt ! i been putting powersteering fluid in !
to late to put ATF in ?

Re: Vexine: 1992 SVX
 

Out of curiosity, have you been using ATF in your other Subie's power steering systems?

-I realize the XT6's have the electronic power steering
