How did you figure that out? Did that thread have pics? Got a link?


The pump inlet fitting is what usually needs the O ring replaced. Follow the short hose from reservoir to pump.

I'm thinking you haven't looked at your pump to find the inlet fitting and bolt in question

Re: power steering o ring location

That hose leads to the pump inlet fitting, there is only one bolt holding that fitting to the pump
