Default Power steering leak

I have checked through previous posts on the Power Steering pump leaks.

I have found a gasket set being supplied by someone on Ebay from Spain. Trouble is that it takes a while to get it posted here. Any suppliers in UK ? Failing that, people have talked about making a cardboard gasket and fitting a new seal.

Can anyone help out with dimensions for the seal as I have a box of metric seals and hope one might fit. Also a How To for a CDTI to remove the pump from the car ?

Thanks
Gary

Gary,

Have the same leaking steering pump and could not find details for any replacement washers or gasket (I think/hope mine is leaking at the pipe connections). See what anyone else replies with interest.

Worth cracking the power steering pump pulley bolts before removing the belt, as the pulley has to be removed to get the pump off.

Mine’s a MK1. Seems to have a leak around where the pipes connect. One of the many of the ‘things to do’. Straight forward washer replacement?

On my v6 model , it was a simple O ring where the rubber pipe connected to the pump . Would be worth cleaning up the pump and then observing where the leak reappears ?

Turned out to be the low pressure return pipe had rubbed through on the air con pulley. Quick repair section made up and fitted.
