Hi guys, can anyone help me out with some info

Just noticed I have a Power Steering Pump Oil Leak and its pooling ontop of the engine block in a cavity right behind the P/S Pump



I found a thread on an american website NASIOC, where a guy had exactly the same problem. He pulled the P/S Pump apart and replaced all the seal instead of replacing the whole P/S Pump

DIY: Power Steering Pump Rebuild - NASIOC

He lists a full set of seals needed

FEP-encapsulated Silicone O-ring

1 - AS568A Dash Number 136 O-ring
1 - AS568A Dash Number 037 O-Ring
1 - AS568A Dash Number 021 O-Ring
1 - AS568A Dash Number 017 O-Ring (behind the 'hex bolt')
1 - AS568A Dash Number 015 O-Ring
3 - AS568A Dash Number 014 O-Rings (that's three total for full replacement)
1 - AS568A Dash Number 013 O-Ring
1 - Bearing 12mm depth x 17mm id x 40mm od (range in prices from $6 to $106 from McMaster)
1 - Oil Bearing Shaft Seal 20 I.D. x 32 O.D. and <=9.3 mm in width.



My question is... has anyone given this a go before? rebuilding their P/S Pump or should I just replace the whole P/S Pump?

Replacing the seals will be cheaper than a Pump. Where can a get a seal kit from?

How much will a P/S Pump set me back?

Any suggestions guys?

Or you could put a cap full of brake fluid in the pump and it makes the seals swell up like new, old trick that still works.

They ar easy to rebuild. Pull the back cover off and replace the seals. Make sure you don't loose the little metal plates
