Title: power steering loss and water
Post by: pauly on April 24, 2011, 06:14:35 PM

Today on the way home frpm being out i noticed my steering was really heavy so thought something was up as i stopped water and steam peed out the bonnet my top hose had split managed to cut it and get it back on which held out till i got home and get a new pipe but soon as it was on and i had replaced the water (luck i had 4lts) my power steering was back to how it should be. Is this normal??

Its on my 96 xj

leaking water onto the power steering belt causing it to slip and not pump the power steering fluid
