Oh hai all, so I've been enjoying putting around in my buzzbox post rebuild, but last night the steering started getting a bit heavy, bit of a whine, so when I got home had a look and the PS fluid level was way down. Figured it was a bit late to do anything about it so left it to this morning. Come today the level is even less and now I have a lovely puddle of ATF under the car and running all down the front of my shiny new covers I don't really want to just top it up and drive the cruise on Sunday as is, so I've rung around and located a pump but no one to fit it until well into next week so I'm considering doing so myself. I've found a DIY thread on ScoobyMods and seems pretty basic stuff, however if there is someone with experience with this and has an urge to help out with it today or tomorrow I wouldn't mind a hand.

Cheers, Alex.

Cheers Ross, but it could be alright now. I ended up talking to Banger, who told me to replace the seal on the bottom of the reservoir and that might solve my dramas. When I took said reservoir off, the seal was knackered, so replaced that for now, pumped fluid through the lines and then took it for a small drive to heat it all up. So we'll see over the next few hours if it ends up making a mess again. If not I'll give you a ring a ling.

Sure its not the front pulley seal aswell, replace a few of them in my time of mechanics.

From what I can tell it's not the pulley seal. Had a good gander at it when I pulled the reservoir off, and the front of the pump was/is dry. Had a look a bit earlier under the car when I went out for a smoke and it's still puddle free, so it might be sorted, for a while anyway.
