Power steering leaking (spraying out!)

Post by Frediculous » Tue Mar 27, 2018 5:10 pm

Hi everyone,

I went to drive my Bongo on Sunday for my steering to immediately become very heavy and for a puddle of steering fluid to have accumulated on my drive :(

I got the AA out who reckoned it was a leaking high pressure power steering pipe - having scoured the site I can't see any topics about this happening to anyone else which makes me a bit suspicious.......

The leak was at the front of the van near the radiator - it could be seen from the bonnet, but i found it difficult to see the exact spot it was leaking from. I'm hoping that it is some seals / washers rather than the high pressure pipe that needs replaced. Any thoughts would be greatly received (I'm sure you'll need more info but if you let me what info you need I'll see what I can do).

Cheers!
