Do leaks move?
« 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

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40

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.
