    3b powersteering leak.

    I have a fluid leak on my power steering, its getting quite sever,but I cant seem to see where its coming from.Plenty of fluid on show but is not easy to see the leak.
    What is the most likely place to check.

      Mine had no obvious breaks or cracks in it, but when removed and one end covered, when you blew in it you could hear air escaping from multiple tiny holes.

      Not the cheapest part to get, but I wouldn't risk a used one since it flexes when removing. You could fab one up yourself (minus the ribs) if you were handy with pipes.

        It was the ribbed cooling pipe, small hole where it had been rubbing on a bracket.
        Looking for one for a 3b, if anyone has one PM me please.
        Thanks for the help Sidrick

          My 7a one snapped when I changed the radiator
          Copper and rubber pipe to the rescue
