Power Steering Leak
Tuesday, March 04, 2008 8:08 AM
Here's my problem,

i have noticed that my power steering seems to be leaking around the reservoir. I have checked out everything else and all seems to be good. The leak is not bad but it has gotten down to one of my pulleys and thus i have some belt noise when its damp out until the belt dries off. I am planning to replace the belt after the winter and clean the pulleys but before all that i need to make sure i have the leak corrected.

I have done a search and it seems that there is an o-ring on the reservoir that has a tendency to go and can be replaced. Has anyone ever done this before and is it difficult to do? Anything special i need to watch out for?

PS. Its a 2002 Sunfire 2.2

Thanks in advance!

Is the resevoir attached to the power steering pump itself in this year car? Cause the one in my 97 is and it was leaking pretty noticably. I just picked up a new pump off ebay and replaced it, it wasn't very expensive and it's been fine ever since.
