[W126 Coupe] Power steering gearbox leak

[Mike R.]

The PS pump leak is 99% of the time the $2.00 o-ring on the backing plate, a
DIY replacement job. There are many write-ups on how to replace that o-ring
already on here.

	It is very rare that the steering box does NOT leak in our cars.
	They are a complicated piece, so it's best to order a rebuilt
	and pop it in. There is a place on the West Coast that sells
	them at a reasonable price.  Jack Middlebrook put on in his SEC.

My 82' 380 second, has a leak and m nt sure what to do. Its leaking from the
redish looking plug on the pic on the top left corner. This is the pic of
the powersteering gearbox from underneath. I just recently changed my high
pressure hose on the power steering unit. Then this happened? Any
suggestions on what has to be changed? Thanks ramon Sent via BlackBerry from
