Found my car leaking. Please see the attached photo. I found where it is, but not sure what this part is called, and how to fix it? Please help.

I assume that's got the 1.8 liter R18 engine?

That looks like the power steering pump. Are you losing power steering fluid?



Make sure what you see is actually power steering fluid, and not engine oil leaking somewhere above the steering pump.



The black plastic fitting you point at has an O ring seal that can be replaced, cheap.

The other fitting next to it (for the high pressure hose) also has an O ring seal that can be replaced.



I see you aren't in the US so our Honda part numbers here might not be the same as yours there, but here's a USA parts catalog picture and link

Yes, it was made in Tailand and sold in AUstralian market. Engine is R18A1 14 16v SOHC VTEC. The car model is FD.

The car had power steering fluid topped up about 2-3 years ago. It was whining for some times, and finally I worked out by a very little top-up, though I didn't notice any oil leaking at that time.

Just in recent days, it started whining again and I was thinking to top up the power steering fluid again. I went under the car as I saw oil mask on the ground and noticed the leaking.

Very helpful reply! Many thanks.

Found this video:

This guy was replacing both of the o-rings: the one on the black plastic to suction tube, and also the one to pressure line.

Regarding the fluid in the tube. I guess just need a pan on the ground let them drain out. And top up with new fluid after new o-ring replaced.

Pretty much. On your car though, you probably have to do all of the work from underneath the car---- and it will make a mess so be prepared LOL.
