98 OBW Power Steering Pump leaking!


Recommended Posts

They usually leak at t ametal gasket smack dab in the middle of the pump for me.

 

Others here have had the Oring at the bottom of the reservoir leak.

 

Last I checked the rebuild kit was like 20 bucks - same as a used pump. I install used.

Correction to previous post:

For the '97 OBW, PS reservoir O-ring is closer to 11x15x2mm, probably nitrile.

Don't know the hardness (70, 90)?

 

Get the right one from the dealer when replacing. Even if you get close with a metric kit o-ring it can still leak. Another key might be centering the reservior outlet in the pump inlet so the o-ring isn't crushed on one side.
