Hi Guys,

When it stops raining here long enough, I'm going to *TRY* to take off the
power steering pump my  88 Jetta 1.6L Turbo Diesel.
Wonder what kind of job it is?  The fluid is peeing right out the shaft (one
with the pulley).  I'm going to see if I can take it apart and replace the
O-ring in it. (hopefully it can be done). New O-rings are NLA but the
service guy @ the VW joint said it can probably be done.  I might be able to
track down a similar rubber O-ring somewhere.

If I wreck it or it's not possible I'd like to line up an old used, cheap or
better yet free, power steering pump if someone's got one collecting dust.

Anyone have a cheapie/freebie?  There's not even one to be found in southern
NB, Canada currently for any price.  The one junkyard that thought he had
one evidentally sold it the other day for $25CDN ($1.385 US, ha ha)
sigh.....

Thanks!
Mike
