Okay, with Moby out with a temp sensor issues, we had been driving Rubicat in his place or at least, up until I noticed this about a week ago.
At first, I thought it was gear oil coming from the diff but after cleaning things up, the drips came back with a vengeance and not anywhere close to the diff. Also, the smell wasn't right and that's when I realized it was power steering fluid leaking from somewhere around the steering box. So, I cleaned things up again and parked it until I could find some time to work on it. Well, I finally found some time this morning and finally tracked it down to the where the snout bolts up to the steering box.
As you can see, even without me running the motor, it's been leaking good and of course, with the motor on, it's pretty bad. Checking the reservoir of which I just filled up not too long ago, I found it to be quite low again.
So, here's the thing, I know it's just got to be a bad o-ring but with everyone at KOH, I seriously doubt that I'll be able to get a seal rebuild kit from PSC anytime soon. Have any of you ever had a Delphi box ported for a PSC develop a leak here and if so, were you able to replace it without having to pull the whole box? It's looking real tight especially being that we have a DTD tower in the way. Also, if you have replaced the o-ring, can you tell me about how big it was? If I can find one locally, I might try to do that.
