Leaky Power Steering Pump

JkTheItalianoWJ · 11-18-2009, 03:49 PM

I've got a bit of a leaky power steering pump on my 2000 WJ. I don't know exactly where its leaking from on the pump yet though. Any suggestions guys?

Yeah, the hose is definitely the first thing to check. Clean off the whole assembly, start the engine and turn the steering wheel back and forth. Then inspect the steering gear to see where it's coming from.

Haha sounds good dude thats what I was planning on using. How much did the lucas for the power steering fluid run you?

any type of "stop leak" additive is only a bandaid.
