Hello, my power steering problems are driving me crazy...the history of it is that last summer, it was working, however it would cut out at times. The fluid was always at acceptable levels and there was a minimal leak in one of the lines.
So one of the last few runs of last summer it kicked out again and hasn't worked since. I replaced the lines, ram and rebuilt the control valve, none of which worked. The pump does not leak and appears fine, but how can I tell?
I figured I would buy a new control valve then and bought one from Laurel Mountain Mustang. After installing it, I have not been able to get the fitting on the control valve that returns fluid to the pump to stop from leaking. Even without starting the car, after installing the new CV it seeps out. Any thoughts? Could that be bad as well?
The only thing not new on the system is the pump, but would it be intermittent? Anyone ideas on the control valve "return" fitting? Thanks.
