Hi,
I own a 1986 DL1800 Wagon (since new) that has travelled 190,000 kilometres.
The power steering fluid had been leaking slightly for a while but was very
easily managed with the occasional top up of fluid.
I recently used a product through the power steering that "guaranteed to fix
any seal leaks". It seemed to work ok for about a month then the leaking
became worse (now quite serious). Not sure if it was as a result of using
the additive or just a deterioration of the original problem..
I would appreciate any advice on what type of problem to look for, seals,
bearings etc, and also, is working on, or replacing a power steering unit,
something that I could tackle myself in the home workshop
Thanks in advance
Trevor
