Default Power steering rack leaking AGAIN
I have a 87.I had the power steering rack replaced in 2001,leaking badly.I put around 20k miles on it between 01-05.The car has been sitting for 5 years.I just got it running in July and have less than 500 miles on it and its pissing out fluid.Its not leaking from the top hoses and i haven't looked under it,I'm just to big. Could a rack go from just sitting?Or could it have been install wrong.It never felt the same after it was replaced.

go to napa and get a 'LUCAS' product called power steering leak stop, it will make the seals start sealing again.
