Time to overcome this: PS leaks only after being driven
Ever since I obtained my 92 SC400, it has leaked PS fluid. (an SC attitude/SC doctrine ) It only leaks for 20 hours or so after being driven. Otherwise, bone dry underneath. The leak is coming from way up top, like the reservoir, or a loose hose clamp. I tightened all of the clamps and checked everything I can think of. Seriously, this SC goes through more PS fluid than oil. (maybe...)
High pressure hose is common problem. Clean everything off with a pressure washer and start searching. That's the only way to find it, someone on a computer a million miles away can't find it for you
Haven't pressure washed it (as I heard the SC'S do not respond well to them) but I have detailed the engine bay and the leak still rarely forms. Might have to remove the hoses and inspect. Thnx for the suggestion...
Brake cleaner works well for grime and fluid. I'm not familiar with the SC400 pump. On the JZ engines the nipple on the pump(thing the hose connects to), from the reservoir has an O-ring that goes bad. I got a new one from lowes for $1.
