Power Steering Fluid Leak
« on: April 18, 2010, 11:49:23 PM »

Finally had the time to look at the slight leak I have had since buying my Grand.  Seems to be coming from the lower body of the pump.  I would guess the seal between the pump and the reservoir.

I found the number of the seal in the parts book but the manual says that the 2 clips holding the reservoir to the pump should be changed as well.  Anyone have a number for these as they are not shown in the book.

I will try to get to the stealers this week but do not hold out much hope.  German efficiency is certainly missing a few beats where my local Jeep 'dealers' are concerned.

Would have them shipped from the UK or USA but due to the volcanic panic, :banghead: this does not seem to be an option.

Computer simulations are no substitute for real time monitoring!

don't worry about changing the clips, they're just a type of spring clip and last forever. ive used them over an over again.

Main dealer in Wiesbaden were very helpful - o-ring seal was in stock.

The seal looks very basic.  Because i only want to do this once, think I will wait a couple more days until I am back at work and find a similar size aircraft spec one.  These are rated to over 3000 psi with a large temperature range and are used with a hydraulic fluid called Skydrol which is one of the nastiest liquids on the planet.
