Anyone no if they away for stoping my power steering box leaking. Its leaking from the top of the box where the two pipes fix it to the b9x I have took the pipes off cleaned the threads and made sure they was all clean I bolted them back it as far ad thwy will go buy seems to be still leaks any way to get it to seal and stop leaking
 
Thanks for your help. Iam sure its coming from the top where pipes go in tothe box. As I have cleaned all the box and its only there and keep letting air in to power steering so I have to bleed it all the time when it's been stud over night:mad:
 
Which make/model of steering box do you have?

Do you have traces of fluid around the union?

Is it on the high pressure from the pump or return pipe to the reservoir?

Is there any trace of fluid from the pump, especially around the spindle?

Is all of the connecting pipework between the reservoir and the pump, the pump and the box and from the box to the reservoir completely sound?

if its 3 bolt box pipes are sealed with olives (can be pickled out and replaced )4 or 6 bolt pipes have o rings on the end

Mine is a 4 bolts type. Come for a landrover 90 . And its definitely coming from where the pipes connect to the box as I cleaned all the box to make sure. Where would I get hold of the o rings. Thanks again
 
Stoped the leaking buy putting 2 ring washer seals on end of each pipe. But I still have another problem every time I leave it over night the steering becomes really stiff asif it needs bleeding every I leave it 9ver night . What could be coursing this to hapen as I was thinking it was the pipes leaking. Could it be the swivel housing as it has started pitting .

if it gets better then its not swivels,stiff steering is either poor pump ,low fuid ,stiff ujs in linkage or box problem usually input shaft
 
Yeh it gets better and all works as it should after I have turned it from lock to lock its fine until I turn engine off and off for a while. Fluid is fine. So must be a box or the pump as all the steering ujs are all new and been greased.
