Blue smoke from front left hand side

[Stillhoff]

It comes from time to time. Normaly when I have been turning hard left.
I have replaced the two hoses to the servo below air intake as described in a how-to. The problem is still there.

Could it be a gasket/seal in the servo or arm? Have I missed a leaking hose or so.

Check your power steering high pressure hose. Sometimes they have a pin hole and it sprays onto something hot which makes the smoke.

I know I have seen a pictures of it in here some where.
Are there only that one high pressure line. I have checked it and it did not seem to leak. But I guess if the hole is very small and it only sprays when the pump gives full pressure,like at end points, it could be difficult to spot.

There was also a drowing of the power steering system build up some where.

I think the new How-to documents are difficult or somethings are missing.

Could I pull a hose a round the high pressure line to see if the problem is there, or are there not enough clearens.
