: This is the ONLY part of my system that is not leaking.
: Have you
: a) replaced the hoses using sealer?
: b) Taken it off of the car, heated it, and used wick'n'lock to fill small holes?
: If so, you may have to replace it. I havent searched for this part of the Non-integral
: power steering system, but as it has plenty of room around it in the engine compartment, and
: just has two hoses connecting to it, any finned cooler that would fit should work.
: I hate when someone gives lame 'could or should' suggestions, but maybe an aftermarket
: transmission cooler?
no, i haven't taken anything off the car yet, just looking at it from outside, i notice the coil is wet from about halway down and everywhere behind it is wet too, all hoses , pump etc. since there is nothing forward of the coil i assumed that it was leaking and blowing back over everyting else.
probably take it down this weekend, will update when i do.
one last thing, please elaborate on the sealer you talked about above, would not just changing hoses and hose clips do? the pressure hose has a fitting that should take care of itself as far as sealing goes right?
next thing, i don't know what wick 'n lock is. please advise!
