My car has sprung a leak between the power steering pump and the connection at the rack. Between the pump and the rack is a short metal pipe, rubber tube and another metal pipe. I have a leak where the rubber pipe connects to the metal pipe that runs down from the pump.

I understand that the whole section will need to be replaced. Unless anybody has any bright ideas as to how to fix this I'd appreciate it. Can I cut the rubber and use jubilee clips? I realise that this is very high pressure so need to get it right.

If I replace the whole section am I right in thinking that I need new seals for where it joins the rack? Available from Ford? Anybody have any?

In this photo it is the rubber tub with the two blue plastic clips hanging on it. And it is leaking at the end where it meets the metal pipe underneath the pump.


Thanks,



Charlie
