Power Steering Pump
 

Has anyone had one go, mine is pi55ing fluid everywhere, its dropping onto headers and burning off. I know this stuff can go up so now a little worried to say least about driving.

Has anyone removed the power steering, how did it drive?

I need to drive the car every day so thought that removing the drive belt and the pump would stop any further leakage and fire risk. I can then get the pump serviced / exchanged and refit without loosing useage of car....

Cheers

sounds most likely the oring between resivoir and pump.. few pence from dealer and easy change..

mines was leaking between tank and pump body, got new o ring from dealers for 79p, about an hours work to sort.

Thanks JGM and WRX_RA, will look for the section joining the res to pump and source an O-ring, or whatever part is needed.

what year?

on < 97 there is three bolts around resi.. undo and it lifts off.. Oring is on the nozzle that goes into the pump..

On > 97 you need to undo the bolts holding the top of the resi on and then undo two bolts in the bottom of the resi.. oring on nozzle again..

There is a seal on the spindle but they rarely go... you can tell if oil is higher than spindle or not etc...

Its a 95 WRX Simon,
I will unbolt the resi tomorrow morning and try to source O-ring during day.
Will have to drop the belt off to drive to get any parts I cant source tomorrow, but an O-ring is easy to source from a motor factors.
Thanks again.
