Power steering problem..

PS is leaking, but I cannot tell where.....removed it..what is the best thing to do in your experience? Can you buy new? Rebuilt?, I have not had much luck with scrap yard ones....Do any other models fit a 69 455?

Thanks in advance,
Ted

too late now but the best way is clean it all up and then the drive it. You will be able to see where the leak is.

You can by seal kits for the pump at regular auto parts stores. I would just go through it now thats off.

The hoses are good. It looks like it has been leaking from the base of the filler neck...The seal kit is fairly cheap....prob go that way....

Thanx,
Ted
