Re: Power Steering Pump

I Have changed the O Ring, the original was hard and cone shaped, its not a normal O Ring application, it has a tapered hole, very odd. The hardest part is emptying the fluid, I used a diesel engine priming hand pump (black rubber egg shaped thing). So with the new O Ring I have refilled and it seems to be OK.

The mystery is where did the the fluid leak from, it has been blown around the radiator fans and on the cam belt covers, not a huge amount, but enough to leave a film over it all. It is clean and smells like Dextron II so its from the PAS. I wonder if it was from the filler cap, it looks as if it has a pressure relief mechanism. Any Ideas ?
