Small leak
I have a very small leak of oil coming from the power steering ram, put new one on today, where the hose's screw into front of ram, there's a very small leak coming from one of these connections, anything i can do to stop them leaking, maybe some plumbers tape on the hose threads??
any other ideas anyone?
cheers

The plumbers tape wont seal the leak but it might allow the fitting to go tighter which might seal it..Did you put new hoses on? If not you might have to.Take the line back off and look at both tapers.

yeah using the old hose's, the threads do look abit worn, its not pouring out just a very small amount of oil.

Good chance Lucas PS Stop Leak would solve That. It can be run as a Replacement for Regular PS fluid. Good stuff. If you drain and replace the fluid youll need to Burp The air out of the system.
