anyone have any experience with this product?

My power steering has been groaning, buzzing, vibrating for a while now. I'm worried that on top of some leaking hoses, i have a box or pump that needs a rebuild. I wonder if this may patch the job until i can get around to it?

I've used it to stop a small leak.
It worked!

I also have a leak, the back housing plate o-ring. I have already replaced the high pressure and suction hose o-rings, and fixed those, but don't want to take the whole pump off to do one o-ring until I'm ready to do a rebuild.

I've thought of using a stop leak as long as it can all be flushed out when a rebuild is done. Mine is not groaning or anything, so would you run stop leak for a short term fix, or just let it leak?

My buddy's '79 Ramcharger had a power steering leak and we used that, but then when he took it into the shop to have it looked at, they couldn't find anything leaking....


So I say yes, it works.

fixed my leak on my 60, but was so thick that it fried the old pump.

Used it on my 60 with my V8 conversion on the GM pump. Leaking slowed way down but one day at 20 degrees outside it made a horrible noise while trying to start it...then it was quiet and ran smooth except that I had no power steering. The thick fluid grenaded the pump fins and then it ran smooth. I say it will help stop leaks but would be afraid to run it under 50 degree conditions.
