I bought my Disco a couple of months ago and when I picked it up they told me that they had replaced the drag link and sure enough underneath there is a new (LR sticker shines) link.
I noticed and my neighbour noticed a little leak on the ground, on looking below the the drop link from the steering box was wet and had a little drip on it. I touched it and the fluid seemed like WD40 (smell, colour, etc.) so I assumed that they had soaked the drop link in WD40 to help let the drop link be removed.
The patch on the driveway has got bigger and bigger so I know now I have a leak!!! I looked under the bonnet and in the PAS res. there is a thin grey mucky looking fluid that is very thin and smells like WD40. I have done a bit of reading online and I assume that the PAS fluid should be bright green (Texaco 14315).
Has anybody else topped up their Disco with the wrong stuff and caused a leak? I think that is what has happened.
I have planned for worst case and bought a 2nd hand steering box but would like to get some costs back if the garage I bought the Disco from have caused the leak.
Do you have to use Texaco 14315?
Thanks,
JAK..
