Title: leaky box (stearing)
Post by: paulesc on June 30, 2011, 07:25:21 PM

i noticed a small puddle under the front of my tj about 3 weeks ago. it was comming from the stearing box. I think the seal at the top.
it had lost about half the fluid.
i topped it up with lucus power steering fix, it was ok for a week then dumped another load of fluid, so i topped it up again.
 its been ok for over a week with no loss at all. Stearing is very smooth.
Can i just change the top seal? leave it alone? or start looking for a replacement?

I changed my top seal @ 2 months ago. I think it cost @ £20 for the seal kit from Lighthouse.
