leaking powersteering..

[92_JDM]

at first i thought its leaking from one of the tube but when i checked again, seems to be leaking from the top. what can i do to solve this issues. can i just change the cap or is there something clogging the tube to the point that the pressure cannot to access and so that is causing it to overflowing.?? please help..

Thanks

Are you saying the reservour is leaking or the actual pump?
I had a leaking power steering pump, I took the fittings off and put RTV on them and reassembled. It's been fine since.

Dont quote me on this but im pretty sure that there's a sealant thats is shape like the number 8 thats goes the tubes. I had some guys change my rack n pinion on my old civic and they didn't replace that sealant and my power steering was leaking from the top. it would be stains on my hood from where the fluid splashed when it hit the belt.

You might want to check that you have the little pieces that you need.

hey if there is fluid on the brake boost diaphragm then this means yours primary seal on the primary piston.on your brake chamber is defective. if not then its a nether problem

its the reservoir where we insert the powersteering fluid.

Make sure you havn't overfilled it. There should be marks on the side..

yeah im not overfilling it thats forsure. i did not go pass the max line on the side of the container.

wipe it clean. drive the car around and see where its coming from

i wipe it and went to pick up my niece and check it again, it was wet at the top of the resevoir

i think its your sealant. its like a little rubber piece your missing.... I had the same exact problem

 

[92_JDM]

is the little rubber piece suppose to be on the cap?

well there's that rubber piece but thats not the one im talking about. theres one suppose to be on the meatl

on my car I was missing the one shaped like an 8

it went somewhere around this area....

Let me know if this helps or not

My only guess is that you have it overfilled. There's no seal on the reservoir cap and it has no problem keeping the fluid in. I don't think it should even get up high enough to leak out the top.

 

[92_JDM]

i fill it up to the max line or lower. is that too high if it is then that might be the problem

I'd stick with the "low" line for now lol.
