Hiya all, another problem with my van !! I wouldn't mind if I drove it hard but I don't.. It's just falling apart around me..
I changed the power steer fluid, because it was black and smelly, for some nice red Citroen stuff and now I notice there is red fluid coming from the area around the pipe connections and pressure valve.. I can't see where exactly it is coming from but the area is very clean. Is there a common fault or area most likely to leak on these racks ?
I have read a few posts saying replace some 'O' rings but where are they ? Also it would seem the oil seal isn't replaceable so is it just a replacement rack ? I see recon racks are available, are they worth it or should I spend big and go new ?
I'm only guessing but if this is the original rack it has done 175k miles so pretty good I suppose..
Any advice on rack oil leaks ? replacement ? identifying the correct rack ? etc..
Cheers..
