Re: Power steering leak.



The hose gets old and may need replaced. If you can I would go with steel lines all the way.  When using a hose I usually use a flaring tool and flare both ends of the pipe.  That seems to help stop the leaks. I flare the pipe going into the rad and the line coming from the trans.  Just a little extra insurance.

Hose on part right before rad...but they never leaked before...maybe I should tighten them...and tighten where they go into rad.

Sometimes when you push the hose to far on they will leak.  Have the hose about 1/8 to 1/4 in from the bend then tighten with a good hose clamp and see if that dosen't  help.  The rad does it have metal lines all the way or a hose on part of it.?

It's not the high pressure line with the fitting...it's just the return hose with the hose clamps...I'm doing this by myself so I can't turn the wheel and watch the pump to see where it's coming from...the part by the hose is real wet so I figure it's coming out the hose. Ima try and push it down further passed the bend and put 2 hose clamps maybe....ugh I hate leaks with a passion...now I noticed a drop of tranny fluid by my radiator...when will it end!?!?! :(

Did you put teflon tape on the fitting before you installed it.??

I've been dealing with a super aggravating leak on my power steering. The low pressure line that runs to the box was leaking on both sides. Replaced hose, hose clamped it back...filled fluid...took a drive and the leak stopped on one end but where it connects to pump is still leaking bad....I just can't get it to stop. I think it's coming out as I'm driving an getting on frame making me think I have a oil pan leak. Any suggestions? I don't wanna burn up my box or pump...just can't enjoy the damn thing lol
