Leaky Power Steering

[cmkelly]

Okay gang, I have searched and there is some good information on the Tech Nismo side but I wanted to see if anyone had any pointers here before I figure out where my leak is coming from.

I now have to fill up the resiviour twice a week and travel with a quart of Dexron-III in my trunk!

What's the best practice for isolating the leak? Car on and wheels turning under load or just wipe it down and see if I can find a leak?

Are the 240's prone to leak in one place versus another?

I'll probably wipe it down and then let if sit overnight first and then try some engine running, turn wheels stuff next.

If I have to replace anything I'll take pictures and document the process.

Thanks, chris

Park your car on clean surface and turn all the way right or left and see where it's coming from. Don't lock it too long. Look at hoses(high pressure/regular), clamped area, hardline joint, steering rack and pump. I had a leak in 3 different places and it was fairly easy to fix. Get a clean towel and touch here and there. You will find it eventually. I created this thread when I had a leak on high pressure hose.
