[s-cars] Weeping power steering cap question

It unscrews.  Required tool to loosen it enough to remove it is a
combination of a hammer powered impact driver and an 11/16" drag link
socket.  (This is a big heavy duty flat screwdriver blade for a 3/8" drive
socket.)  A 3 inch 3/8" extension will also prove handy.

The repair is to remove the "X-cap", remove the old O-ring, replace it with
a new O-ring and screw the cap back down, finally tightening it with the
impact driver and the drag link socket.

A set of O-rings for rebuilding the entire pump is available from
Rod at thepartsconnection.com for about $6.  The O-ring you need will be among
the kit.
