power steering fluid leak

[parko]

hi chaps, im having a problem with the power steering fluid leaking from the feed pipe to the pump on my valver. ive replaced the pipe two weeks ago but it has gone again. its as though pressure is building up and therefore blowing the rubber seal in the joint. has anyone come across this before or at all know what the problem could be? many thanks, scott

Think Slick 50, Wynns or STP do a Power steering additive that stops leaks and these usually lessen the noise made on full lock too. May be worth a try. Forte also do some very good stuff many of which can be found on ebay cheap.

Their solution although may not be a cure is:

cheers matty. ill give it a whirl. it seems to get worse sometimes. it pisses out as quick as put more fluid in. is it possible that there could be some sort of pressure build up or something?

It could be blocked somwhere?
