power steering leak
my power steering has been leaking and i was wondering if that can be fixed threw the replacement of the o-ring or is it something else like replacing the entire pump itself

If it's leaking in the area around the pump, then it's a good bet that it's the O-ring.

You can find out how that is done in the How-To documents. I would replace that first, because it is most likely the problem.

wheelman, you got to get under her to find the leak. like he said, if it's coming from the resivor area it's likely the quick o-ring fix. if it's from the back passenger side of the motor most likely one of two holes connecting the pump to the rack. one has metal fittings on both sides, this ones a bit pricer, the other is a smaller S-shaped hose, and can be fitted with an after market lenght of PS hose for about 10 bucks. so cross your fingers for the little one. My little one had a small leak for a few months then blew up last week putting me in a bind, so go ahead and fix this soon.
ps. i made the lil' one into a loop instead of an S like before, this put less strain on the hose. oh yeah, hope you have small nimble fingers, your gonna need them. |
