As you probably know most of these type products do not work & are a waste of time- not to mention money. If they were selling them to women, the women would take them back & they would have quit selling them a long time ago.

Since the Gold Eagle No Leak for PS worked in one car, I tried it in another & another & it worked in all! Currently no one I know has a PS leak to test Lucas. I do not even try these type products often & this is the only one I have seen actually work. Someone did mention another brand that he said worked. So if you or someone finds a better one let us know. After I verify that, will post it instead.

I had a ps leak and come to find out it was actually the very top of the cap had a hole in it causing me to lose ps fluid. Every time turned the wheel hard it would spew out, so I changed the cap and no more leaks.

I tried Ganey's tip on "No Leak" by Golden Eagle....took only half bottle and less than 100 miles driving...stopped my leak at the control valve and has not leaked for almost two weeks....bought mine at Albertsons.....
I might mention I tried Lucas with no results...zilch...
