Re: [Chrysler300] '63 Chrysler Power Steering Pump O-Ring

[Gary Nelson <Gary@xxxx>]

I make the canister o ring from bulk o ring stock and they work fine. I use 
Vaseline to assemble to prevent o ring from pinching. Are you sure you had 
the correct diameter o ring? If you have replaced twice you may have a 
canister that is out of round or it is the shaft seal that is allowing 
fluid to collect at bottom of reservoir canister. They can fool you. Clean 
all oil all the way up to shaft then drive a bit and check up near the 
shaft and see if it may be starting there.
