power steering pipes

Post by tensilekid »

HI . A year ago i replaced the steel pipes with a set of flexible pipes from Gunel. There has always been a slight loss of fluid and now when I look at the pipes the return (low pressure) pipe is coverd in oil along it's entire length. This looks as if the fluid is sweating through the pipe! The high pressure is fine and the fluid is red ATF. is the pipe faulty ?

I'd say so! Take the pipe off and down to Pirtek and they'll make you another!
