[s-cars] Weeping power steering cap question

[Martin, Gary G]

It is screwed in, with an 'o' ring seal. Can be picked up at your friendly
dealer for cheap. The socket for removing it is called a drag link socket I
believe. I made my own 'mother of all screw drivers' with a big old bolt,
modified with a hack saw. Using a ratchet wrench, socket and special hand
built screw driver bolt, removal was a piece of cake.

Hi,

After 3 years the cap (black plug with X) started leaking again and a whack
with a hammer doesn't help anymore. Does anyone know if this is screwed in,
pressed it, glued in? Does it have a seal? Has anyone taken it apart? Is
there a flange on the inside like a rivet or is it just pressed in
(tapered). I can make another plug at work, but can't drive to work to make
it if I take it apart.

Any help would be great.

Thanks
