radness 0 Posted August 10, 2009 Hey, I had a quick look under the car as i noticed a puddle this morning. It appears the Powersteering pump is leaking , the dripping is actually coming from the pump itself and it's sprayed around a lot of the engine so i guess it spews out faster when the engine is running. I also checked the fluid level and it's below min now and i usually keep an eye on this. Whats the most common cause for a leak in this area? pump failure? or seal/gasket? I did notice that when turning the pump was quite noisy but always put it down to it being an old car (now has 140k miles on it) If i need a new pump (i assume i do) is it a big job to replace? and wheres best to buy one?

radness 0 Posted August 10, 2009 Hmm I found a loose nut on the actual pump itself, it was loose and i was able to tighten it a bit with my fingers and some pliers, don't know how im going to get my hand in there and tighten it properly without the help of a ramp :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
