I have a leak on the power steering. Its coming from a nut which links the bottom pipe to the lower housing under the car (94 WRX). The leak isn't massive but it does drip. I've tried nipping the nut up but to no avail; I was wondering whether there is a washer/o-ring at this junction that I could change which may stop this leak.

Can anyone help??

there are two 'O' rings and they are very easy to replace, if you go to halfords you can buy a pack of o rings for about £2 they have different all sizes that will fit..

There is an o ring on the power steering pot (small) and also under the cradle (large), which you can remove with the two bolts that screw into the power steering pump.

I have a summer leak on mine... the heat causes it to over heat and I get a leak.. in the place you are talking about..

it gets cold and it stops leaking! I should perhaps get some seals from halfords too then..
