Power Steering Fluid Leak

[steve740]

Ive noticed a leak on the valver regarding the above. Ive been told that its getting blown out through a breather. If this is the case, how and what is the remedy please boffins?!

Err keep toping it up.

I know one rally driver used to have the brether pipe going to a little storage bottle to catch the extra bit which came out.

 

[steve740]

Is there a way I could block the breather at all? Bit of a silly question I know but my engine bay is never gonna be clean with this happening! lol

 

[Dan@SJM]

its geting blown out which breather?

 

[steve740]

I couldnt tell you Dan, the guy who did my cambelt said it was being blown out of a breather due to a possible air lock. Could this be true as I dont trust the prick at all after my clutch was fucked up?!

Mine's pissing liquid out the top too LoL

Getting v noisy though so I think I need to top it up before it dies... :S

 

[steve740]

yeah I topped mine up and its a lot quieter, just need to stop it all leaking

 

[danlondon]

mine also come out of the breather hole in the top of the filler cap!
And sounds like a dying dog when i turn at low speeds.

 

[Dan@SJM]

shove a lucas stop leak in it, got nout to loose as its money back if it doesnt work!

 

[steve740]

Cheers dan, I'll give that a go. I'll let you know the outcome

 

[Dan@SJM]

only breathers i can think of is the pipes that run between the 2 boots, and if its fluid in there, then its usually seals, which stop leak will do.

thanks again Dan. Hope to god it sorts it
