Power Steering Leak

[dboyw]

I have had a small leak around the steering gear for the past few years. Last year, I put in the Lucus Stop leak, but it didn't stop it completely, but did make the drops smaller. Then over the summer and leak was gone. Now that it is cold again, it is back.

Could this be the hoses swelling and shrinking? Would be cheaper to replace hoses than gear and pump.

Thanks

Yes it would be cheaper to replace hoses. Do you know exactly where the fluid is leaking from? If it it a shaft seal you should be able to replace it, along with the hoses.

I need heep with this also I have a major leak. I fill the res. and drive to the store and when i get home its everywhere. The pump works fine when full and whines when empty and when braking.
