The upper one of the two rear facing bolts which secure the P/S pump to the block (1970 LS5 BB) has sheared off.
New ones are on the way, but I have a question wrt installing them.
Do the mounting bolts (or more correctly, the threaded holes in the pump housing) have any connection to the power steering fluid (passages)? I'm concerned about oil contamination and/or oil spillage when I remove the old bolt(s). Thx
It's not a direct hole plugged by the bolt AFAIK
That said, the can is sealed to the pump body by them, here's a pic of the can so you can see where the bolt holes go (ignore the changes made for my hydroboost fittings) when you remove the bolt there's nothing really holding the reservoir can tight to the pump so fluid can seep out there, how much / fast I don't know
