so the lady i been hanging with for a while, well, of course I end up diagnosing/researching/fixing her ride, 08 Pilot.
Been a good car, but recently sprung a bit of a power steering fluid leak. Thought maybe a bad seal in rack, like my Malibu had. Took a peek under hood, looked at pump, could see leaking from pump area, running down timing belt cover..
found a small hole/crack in line, pretty small/minor but definitely leaking from there. it's not horrible like my bad seal leak was, and way better being either high or low pressure line.
which one is this? pic 1 is overview, pic 2 is closeup of the hose that goes back toward firewall, goes down, comes to the sensor hookup? and reduces down to that black line that must go into rack. this line comes from pump of course. is this high pressure line?
other line goes from pump to reservoir, leaves reservoir and reduces down to smaller metal line, runs across vehicle in front, just behind radiator, and maybe cuts back and hooks into rack on driver side? I'm assuming..
is this low pressure?
any tips/tricks? i did my Malibu and learned a few things, but that was replacing the whole rack. I'm not sure if rack is leaking from bad seal or not, don't think so but gotta replace this line first and take it from there...
i haven't youtube or researched quite yet.
