Power steering pump leak

<< < (2/3) > >>

Thanks for the replys guys, looks like new steering pump over the christmas break and try to free up the fan and get that working or look for a replacement, i take it the AC will not work if the fan is not running.

Frankie-Boy:
A quick tip for stopping the pump leaking is to put a capful of brake fluid in with the steering fluid, this makes the seals expand a little and stem the flow, I've done it on my old Disco and I know of others that have done it too, one member got his to stop leaking for two years.

Frankie-Boy, Thanks for that tip will try it this weekend and see how it goes, not really up for changing the pump if i do  not need to at the moment. Will post the results after the christmas break.

Dr Neil:
no the A/C wont work if the fan isn't working.

HI Guys, have put a cap full of brake fluid in the steering res, just waitng to see if it does the trick.
Got the AC fan unit off and its a total no go, now need to find a replacement.
