Leak from steering box

(1/3) > >>

cotefarmboy:
I have noticed some spots of oil/fluid appearing on the drive and I know it's an old Landie so leaks are somewhat inevitable but it seems to be coming from the PAS box. Question is should I worry about it? Personally I hate any kind of oil leak on a car but I am guessing that if it is the PAS box it would need to be replaced which will probably be expensive!!

Budgie:
If it's coming from the bottom of the box, where the arm joins, then you can replace the seal in there.
There is a seal kit for the PAS box, it's LR Part No STC2847R and costs £14.46 + vat from Paddocks.  :wink:

cotefarmboy:
Seems a reasonable option, any idea how difficult a job it is to do?

It's hard to tell where the leak is coming from as there is waxoyl everywhere underneath!

freeagent:
try putting a splash of brake fluid in your power steering reservior... it swells the seals and stops leaks...

cotefarmboy:
Really ?????
