Can anyone tell me if there is a way to stop the power steering pump leaking,other than replacing it with a new one

?......turns out that this is what actually killed my alternator

(see my other recent post in Techie).
Been an expensive week so far, and I am not out of the woods yet

May be worth trying some power steering stop leak, such as this - http://www.lucasoil.co.uk/products.php? ... product=16

Pablo don't condem your pump yet!!!! it is probably the gasket

Don't want to talk it up but your exhaust manifold gasket passenger side is a bugger for going aswell

Not at all

just showing what to expect & that it doesn't look too difficult. I'd probably try a bit of instant gasket type stuff myself TBH.

Dar, thanks for the advice.....Kirsty, also many thanks for the diagram

.Gonna see if i can get a new gasket, and sort it live-o.....before it kills me newly re-cond alternator.
By the by, the lads who did re-con my alternator are tops!, cant recommend them enough. They removed, re-conditioned it and re-fitted it, years warranty all for £140.00. They are based in Dover, and also offer a postal re-con service. If anyone is interested PM me for their details

Again, through the collective knowledge of this forum, another successful repair has been done. Special thanks are due to Cheffy 34 (Dar) who steered me down the correct path.
