Power Steering Leak

[aamiggia]

It seems that I have a power steering leak from the pump. I first noticed the fluid soaked all the way down to the steering linkage (the pitman arm). This is a realatively fresh leak and the level is low. No noise or trouble steering.

In my old Honda I used some power steering fluid with a conditioner & leak stop and it seemed to work. Can I use the same on my LX450? The stuff I have is Valvoline PS fluid.

Should I rebuild the PS pump with new o-rings and seals?

You sure it's the pump and not the hose weeping?

Not sure, which hose should I look at? Is the hose prone to go all of a sudden? That seems to be the case. I would think a leak happens slowly over time.
