'91 200Q: Hyd. pump leaking ..



	Well, it's happened ... a couple of weeks ago the brake
	warning light on the 200Q lit up, and several of you
	told me it was the hydraulic fluid level. Sure enough --
	it has started to hemorrhage green gold.

	(First thought -- oh no, it's the rack. Felt around the
	boots, looked carefully: clean as a whistle.)

	Looks like the hydraulic pump is leaking. The same thing
	happened on my '85 5KT a couple of years ago (but with more
	than 100K on the clock!) and I replaced the pump -- easy
	job, so I'm not too worried about tackling it again. Looking
	to save money, is it worth trying to replace the seals? Anyone
	done it?

	BTW, the pump's a ZF with a green label.

	Any tips appreciated!

	-Arun
