my powersteering has been leaking pretty bad. like wen im parking i notice a lot of fluid on the ground. wen i ope the hood its all over where the powersteering resevior. i tried checking it myself. wiped up everything and tried looking while running the car. looks like it leaks right where the pump is but was curious why the pump would leak. anybody have a powersteering leak before. just want to know if anybody else has this problem b4 i go and buy parts...so lmk, thanks!

Pumps do go bad, seals and what not, especially on a 15 year old car....replace the pump if you're sure that's where the leak is coming from.

me and my friends both had bad lines, have someone get in your car and turb the wheel back n forth while you look in the engine bay for the leak, it should be obvious

its the bango bolt..

trust me.. lol jk

had a ford probe do that on me,,, worked on it for 6 months wanted to kill my self

there are only 2 lines right? 1 going to and from the resevior and vise versa to and from the pump? also if its not the lines....and it is the pump any good places to get one? or just go to a local parts store?

any way whats a bango bolt??

motegineon

the bolt that connects the metal piece of the line into the pump, has a hole in it to flow fluid through.

lol

if that was the problem, i think u would just need to replace the metal washers on each side.. but if its not leaking form there,, thats not the problem k?

SLEEPERracer

wel it is comming out from one of the lines going to the pump. where the metal connects to the pump. would i need something like this to replace the bango bolt??
