Title: Do leaks move?
Post by: beast5680 on May 07, 2005, 16:29:26

having sorted out the brake calipers, resealing new pistons and pads etc, next job was the leaking master cylinder reservoir. looked for the leak and its now dry as a bone no fluid loss down the side of the servo :D  however there appears now to be a leak from the steering pump :(  and from the seal on the steering box :evil:
 flippin car seems to have a mind of its own and does it just to spite me i believe so i,m going ignore it and fix something else instead :D  i,ll bet something else will go and leak now just to teach me a lesson

The pipes if thats what leaking into the steering box, have an O-ring which prob just needs changing, thats the easy bit. Not sure about the pump end

The old addage about a chain being as strong as its weakest link.

Quite feasible that as you fix a seal, the next weakest one will start to show the problems.
