I've not had chance to take the landy out since last saturday. However every morning when I left for work (on the push bike) I noticed a small amount of liquid building up underneath the engine. Well I've just been under the wagon and it seems like it has come from the pipe at the back of the power steering pump. Is it normal for the copper washer to fail? How much life should you get out of the pipes?

Definately power steering fluid as the resevoir has gone down.

Try just nipping it up, its probably just worked loose or the copper washer has been reused to many times

Needed a 1/4 of a turn to reach the torque setting!

I'll check it tomorrow....

Noop - still leaking. I'll try to identify exactly where it is leaking.

Has anyone else had a leaky pump?
