Leaking PAS oil from hig preassure hose mounting to steering

Post by invjbo »

Hi,

I have a problem with PAS oil leakage from where the high preassure hose/pipe connects to the steering rack on a LHD Excel from -85. I dismounted the pipe and bought a replacement o-ring from the local machine shop, the leakage got better but didn´t stop entirely. Anyone have any ideas on specifications on right o-ring or any other solutions?

Best regards
John

Take a look at this post John http://www.lotusexcel.net/phpbb/viewtop ... 7727#p7727

I followed the advice and successfully used the same o rings bought from my local Ford dealer back in 2008.
