[s-cars] Power Steering Pump

[calvin young]

No rattling, no weeping or leaks at the X plug; just a fine spray coming off the spinning belt, other parts, or the pulley for the power steering unit.  Problem just occurred suddenly as my daughter was using the car.  Unit would whine as you reached the extremes of steering wheel travel.  She did not listen to the car and back off when the unit was straining.

  It seems to work once we have some fluid in there but but spews out immediately in the pump area. Not sure but it seems like the fluid sprays out right where the not on the power steering hose screws into the pump itself. Also we get the dead pedal from the clutch once the resevoir is empty. When we get fluid into the res. the pedal comes back slightly.

    Calvin, can you describe the symptoms for each? It might help to know whether what's going on warrants repair or replacing.  I'd say there's no repairing the clutch slave cylinder, I'd say it's a DIY replacement in most cases.
    PS pump depends...is it weeping @ the X-plug, rattling or something else entirely, not working at all....?

    Hi guys, can you tell me the best way to repair/replace the power steeriong
    pump.

    How about replacing/repairing the slave unit for the clutch.
