adanny01: Sorry to hear the leaks came up. I guess that's why it's usually advised that if you disassemble anything that's been bound up for long, that you replace any associated o-ring as a precaution (there are exceptions I guess). I suppose that the old o-ring will be worn to some degree and getting the exact same placement (to the nearest micrometer) would be difficult, hence the leaks. Guess those that rebuild pumps or seal guys may have the a replacement. I will even buy same rebuild kit again, not because of leaks but I plan to replace my pump bearing (some noise from there but no fillets) and complete what I started far back when opened the thread. Getting one just incase. On the exhaust cam shaft lobe wear, it appears it happens on these our models. Funny enough when I checked my valve clearances mine was still quite good. I really wonder the factors that contribute to lobe wear. All the best. 1 Like |

Piyke: Thanks for the encouragement. I am heading out now to find the rebuild kit. I just need one O-ring (the biggest of all of them) which i will easily change. The cam shaft filling is another one i will search for. My search location is Kaduna where i am this moment. |

It was a hectic day for me as mechanics all tried to play me for a fool. 98% of them think i am a novice. One said power steering pump is irrepairable. Another one said i should change my top cylinder before it knocks my engine. Another one said i should not dare filling the wear cos it will knock my engine. Basically, no one wants to sell me the PS rebuild kit, they want to repair it for me or nothing. So they want to get as much money as possible from me. On the other hand, no one wants to repair my camshaft or they have never heard of camshaft repair. Its either i buy a relacement camshaft or buy another top cylinder entirely. The only guy who admitted to having the PS rebuild kit insisted i contract him to fix. I agreed on a price of 1k which he refused. At this point the pump was already removed and i refused to shift grounds insisting he brings the kit to me and install right before me. In short, the guy just opened the pump, cleaned both surfaces, applied silicon gum and closed while i protested. At the end i told him i was paying N500 since he broke our agreement. It was a hot arguement but later resolved when he gave me 2 O-rings. 1 big and 1 small. The small one was used but very flexible while the other is unused. The small fits the inlet pipe that causes morning whine while the large one is the one i requested he fix but instead used gum. However i am not 100% sure that the big o ring is the exact diameter or thickness since he gave me under pressure to recieve 1k from me. For now the gum is not leaking but dont know how long it will remain so. |

adanny01: I am importing parts from the U.S this month, so if you can send me the link to the o-rings on amazon or wherever, I can get them for you, pay when you get them, but if its a complete rebuild kit, then you will need to make some commitment. |

IdaraCHODB: I would have but my pump isnt leaking anymore and its very good for now. I will contact you when i need something later. Right now, my need is an exhaust camshaft but have secured a used one in Abj. |

adanny01: Great to know, I was wondering how I could be of help. I hate it when mechanics try to make fools of car owners, isn't it afterall my car? And I am contracting you to do a fix, can it not be done on terms that are acceptable not just to the mechanic but also to the owner? So that informed my offer to bail you out!

adanny01: Adanny01 now I know what you're enjoying, just finished replacing my worn PS bearing this evening and my engine sounds much quiter. Also used the opportunity to replace all seals in the pump. Took loads of pics and will reload this DIY on my blog soon |

Nice thread Mr Piyke, I got similar leak on my Honda civic 07, my mechanic has tried to tighten seal on 3 different occasions, it stops leaking for a while and then resumes. I have to top fluid occasionally. Kindly assist in resolving |

Piyke: Oh OK. However, I did some further research. My leak comes from the steering rack gearbox. One (or more) of the four seals needs attention and the entire steering rack needs to come out first. I'm not mentally ready for this task yet, so I'll have to live with it for now. |
