Hi all,

3 Power steering leaks!!

Two I can see - One I cant!!

First up - both of the gaiters are leaking - only a tiny bit and the actual gaiter seems in good nick , but what seals/ clips do I need etc, to close them off / stop the leak.

Second, there is a leak from the rack itself, but access under the car without removing the cross member is non-existant. The leak is on the rear side of the rack (side facing the back of the car) and I cant see where from. ( there is a bolt/screwhead on the rack with four holes in / slightly castlated) and the leak is just behind that but cant see. I removed the heat shield but still no joy!

I've got 3 weeks til MOT so need help!!

I'm a jobbing diyer and have some skills, but no mechanic!!

kind regards

Ushmiester
