Morning all,
I have discovered a leak in my power steering system. My mechanic has informed me that it's coming from the seal where the steering columns meets the steering rack. So, as usual, a few queries in relation to this as follows:
Anybody used Wynns Power Steering Stop Leak? How much do you add to the reservoir - the package is for 2 litres of "oil" but I've no idea how much fluid is in the power steering system. I'm planning on using this as a stop gap solution until I source the required replacement parts;
Is it possible to relace this seal or is it a full steering rack replacement job?
If the full steering rack needs replacement, is there a difference between the MG ZT and Rover 75 steering racks? It's not that clear from the Rimmer's website and I've searched other posts in relation to this but haven't found a definitive answer.
As always, an help would be greatly appreciated. Considered the option of replacing the car but really don't want to go down that road!!!
