Urgent need of Help. PS O-Ring Fix
Guys,
I need some help. In my locker you will see 2 pics of the PS PUmp and the Res. Where the hell is the O-Ring that needs to be pulled and replaced. There is one on the bottom of the Res but it really doesnt look like an O-Ring. HELP!!! Please. The car is apart and I need to drive it. Thanx Wayne |

The O-ring is underneath the resevoir(sp?). You have to remove the 2 torx bolts to get to it. It is a really simple process, if that is where the leak is coming from. I replaced mine with a universal o-ring from the local auto parts store. Good Luck! |

"You chose wisely."
Randy,
Thanx for the instructions. Seems to have made a difference. Enven if the leak doesnt stop the steering is beautiful. Feels so much better. I was also able to clean all the crap out of there also. I have never seen a car collect so much junk in the engine bay before. I found a cigerette butt by the battery and I dont smoke. If you dont mind Randy I am going to make a few small adjustment to your write up. The biggie that i was confused about was the 1/8 inch tube you talked about. It's 5/8 so that's where the 95% surity (is that a word) came from. But it helped a great deal. Ciao Wayne |

I had to INSTALL it. There was none
Then I definatly miss read it. When i got the Res off and got it cleaned up. Tons of crap on it. Oil and dirt and sand and etc etc etc. The ring, i can not call it an o-ring cus it wasnt that shape. The ring there looked like a beveled ring. If you cut a cross section of it it would be a triangle. But I bought the kit of o-rings, $19 for 100 of them, (dman it). so i have way more than I need. But noone at any parts store could tell me what size it was.
Just renewed my lack of confidence in the (3 Brothers) Manny, Moe and Jack@ss. Morons. No leaks thus far. Tonite I will open the hood and check for a leak. Since today was the first real test. Highway speeds and the long comute in to work. Thanx again Wayne |

By the way, if anyone has trouble getting o-rings from a parts store or Subaru (where I got mine - they made me prepay), I understand some hardware stores have the ability to MAKE o-rings for you. Here it's apparently an Ace Hardware - dunno if all their stores do.

O-Rings
Fellow SVXer's,
I bought an asortment of O-Rings. If someone needs 1 or so. Please send me an email. The largest I have is about the size of your thumb. I didnt messure it but maybe 1 inch in Diameter. A small donation for shipping and handling would be appreciated but never necessary. Ciao Wayne PS. Happy O-ringing. |
