Power steering fluid puddle-flood HELP

harrijo7 · Apr 26, 2008

I haven't used the beast for 4 weeks. I went into my garage and a large (4 foot diameter) puddle was lurking. I am unsure as to whether a pipe, power steering pump or box is the culprit. Any ideas? Much appreciated.

Sorry meant to mention it is a 96 300tdi. LHD

fill up the reservoir, fire her up and get yer doris to turn the wheel lock to lock while you have a good look. you should be able to see where the leak is.

more likely "I'm not getting in that dirty smelly thing..."

Good suggestion bout firing her up and then firing up the beast. Just checkin on my insurance first.

Will let you know ow it goes. Cheers

my bet is on the bottom seal of the steering box

we'll have ter wait fer toblerone ter tell us

Me thinks it is further up than the steering box, as the pipes and area around the pipe are coated and drippin. J

Don't know if if your steering box is similar to a d2, but i recently had mine done, fluid was pushing past the adjusting nut.

Ok. had the doris turn the wheel and I did the visual. The pump is pumpin fluid the wrong way. ie not along the bleddy pipe. I av ordered a new un.
