Jon84 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Hey Guys, Mk2 1.6 Ti-VCT with a Powersteering leak. It's only seeping as it's taken 20 days to get low again. I did try using some of that leak fixing fluid, that hasn't worked it seems. Question is: Where should I start my leak investigations? Are there any locations that are susceptible to leaking in the system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madman Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I had little drips then all over my driveway power steering leak. The clips on the power bottle leak check them.The union nut on power steering pipes connected to pump are very common and ford now have modified the pipes. Nut is 15 pound and pipes bout 100 plus labour bout 200-250 in total Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also on the inside of the belt splash guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScaniaPBman Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I have had leaks from the low pressure rubber pipe that runs from the fluid bottle to the pump. It had me foxed for a while since it appeared to come from the pump its self. So my advice is clean everything thoroughly and remember about that rubber pipe (£25 if I remember correctly) before you condemn anything else.
