POWER Steering rack leak in strange spot

BlackBear · 01-31-2024, 05:37 PM

Hi,

The leak is at the top of the rack where the steering shaft attaches.

What seal has failed and needs to be replaced?

There was a huge puddle of Pentosin under the car.

The leak is so bad that no power steering fluid is left and the pump is making a terrible noise. I cleaned the area with break cleaner to see the source of the leak. It is still leaking with the car off for four days.

Did you ever figure this out?
