    PS Fluid Leak

    Just noticed a trail of oil in the rain water coming from underneath. Appears to be coming from the steering rack. Initially seemed to be the banjo union on top of the rack, but having wiped it, then with engine running, did the Lock to Lock thing, and now I'm not so sure. Could do without it right now, as I'm working this weekend, and at NEC all next week, so prob wont have time to sort it for a fortnight. Anyone had any experience of this (2 months back I changed the PS fluid (Bought from Pete Reeve, so should be quality stuff), but dont really think it's relevant). I'm gonna pressure wash the area, and have another look, but cant do it for a while.
    Any suggestions?
    Cheers.

    Was the stuff that you bought to the correct G002000 spec? I've seen the replacement Carlube stuff that ECP/QC sell and it seemed to be a little thinner to me when I compared it to the older G002000 marked stuff, so I returned it to Euro Car Parts. It may not solve your problems but it may be worth getting the slightly thicker stuff in there first...

      Found the leak, and it's not the rack
      It's the pipe from the pump- the pump end is flexi, where it runs behind the head, there is a 360' loop, before the Rack banjo. The leak is on the 360.
      Pete Reeve is gonna check stock for me tomorrow, but incase it's NLA- anyone got a used one?
