Dumb question...

[JONES MOTORSPORTS]

I have a 1992 nissan vert and it appears to have sprung a leak and is leaking out power top fluid in front of the right rear wheel. Can anybody tell me what may have broken and where do I put fluid in this thing,Thanks, Chris.

Where's the leak coming from? More than likely, you have a pressure hose that's rupted between the top cylinders and the pump.

The pump is located in the trunk, up against the passenger strut tower. Just put standard ATF fluid in it.

Thanks. Do you work on those lines from under the car or go in through the top with the top down?

there are no lines for the top under the car. all the lines are in the truck/back seat area. just follow the lines from the pump. you may need to remove the leather part that the top sit's on when it gose down.

It'll be tight working to follow the lines, but you should be able to do it.

I would definitely recommend downloading the vert FSM from http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM

I just realized, you're a trip down 460 from me.

That's where the top cylinder is at. Your cylinder on the passenger side is leaking or hydrolic line got busted. You should remove passenger side rear quarter panel and see what's going.

It is leaking on the ground in front of the drivers side rear tire. I will check it out later when my wife gets home. She is out driving with the top down today,nice here.(about 73 degrees) Hijacker, I was just in Roanoke yesterday,do you have a shop there? Where is it? I have family and friends there and we drag race down at motor mile in Radford.

I thought you meant passenger side. Anyway, where the cylinder goes is kinda boxed in, and I think it's leaking from there.

I don't have a shop. I do car work as a hobby, doing the work at a friend's garage. Drop me an email next time you guys head out this way
