Dodgy one
I noticed a fresh drip on my undertray yesterday, Its covered in s**te and oil alrady but this was fairly clean.
I've checked my PAS resovoir and the level had dropped slightly, So i topped it up, Took it on a 50ish mile drive parked it up for 4 hours and checked the level again and it seems to have dropped :S
Had a goose round my bay and the union well the whole area really around the PAS sensor has fresh fluid on it which has run down the hose where i noticed the fresh oil
My main PAS hose looks fairly new TBH having only had the car a year and half i suspect its been replaced once already.
Question is, Where the union bolts up to the hose that runs to the pump, Does this have a rubber O ring in it? I'm thinking its either not been fitted or is damaged as its always been a bit oily but not as bad as it is now.
Pictures here, Ghetto fix for PAS sensor
If its got an Oring i'l whip it off and replace it as ive a kit of them, Or could possinly wrap it in PTFE and bung it back in, Failing that when you buy the sensor does it come with the piece of pipe it bolts into?
