so mine has a leak. which obviously is quite bad. because i thought i'd just have a look at it this morning and there was no fluid in there (oh damn)
so i put some fluid in there but the following questions . 1. does this mean my rack is also dead because its been out of fluid for X long. 2. is it worth getting one from a wrecker/2nd hand. 3. is brand new the only way to go. thanks. |

1. I highly doubt it
2. fine if you're selling it 3. See q2 also, are you sure it's the pump and not one of the hoses?

i had a look. and took a photo. its all tight. the leak/gush/weep seems to be coming from the lower bolt.
that being said. the above bolt is a bracket which i dont have attached to anything because i have extractors. and it lost its mount point (or i lost the bolt haha) and it was a bit loose. does this effect the seal of the pump res?

Yes I was told by a power steering place my pump hoses needed changing for a few hundred dollars. I discovered that all it was is a rubber o ring that seals where the the tup of the hose alloy coupling seals against the pump. The oring cost me 3 dollars two years back. It looks like this is the likely cause

Another vote for the o-ring. I had mine done recently. Happens after a while on AU's. Forgot how much it cost to fix mine, but it wasnt all that much. Had the p/s unit resprayed black while it was out.
