terryb52 Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 I need help figuring out what I need to do with my power steering fluid pump and hoses. I have a leak that I think is from the upper hose connection that drips on the exhaust and freaks everyone out who are next to me at stoplights. I replaced the clamps (they were spring clamps and I put on screw clamps) It still leaks and now I think the upper hose has been cut by the clamp. Are they expensive hoses to replace? I am heading out on a 5000 mile trip and want to fix it before I go. Should I use psf stop leak? What should I tell my mechanic? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy777 Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 go get a generic transmission/hydraulic line hose with the same inner diameter, cut it to length, and put the clamps back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setright Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 ...by lifting up the front end of the car, on axle stands so its stable. Engine off, slowly swing the steering from one extreme to the other. Then do the same with the engine on. At the extremes there should be noticable hissing/whirring noise as the fluid recirculates. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
