Re: Vexine: 1992 SVX
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.

Re: Vexine: 1992 SVX
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.

Re: Vexine: 1992 SVX
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 . |

Re: Vexine: 1992 SVX
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.

Re: Vexine: 1992 SVX
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.
I know it is cold out but is the A/C working ? |
