I have replaced a high pressure power steering line because old one was leeking. New one is leaking like 10 times more. It leaks as much as I pour. I added another washer and a rubber washer and retightened everything and its leaking like 5th of july leakage parade. Is 3sgte 3rd gen not compatible with 5sfe high pressure power steering hose? I am running out of options here. I spent like 40 hours this week alone shoving my hands into tight crevises basically spending like 15 mins to unscrew a bolt, clean everything and yada yada.
I cant take it to any shop cause steering wheel is on hydrostarve lock and turns only 1 inch each side and or if you really push it you can turn it fully in about a minute. have any of you swappers had that problem? What else is there to do? sealant wont work either.. tried that. its leaking a stream about as big as this letter O in a steady flow like out of faucet. Its on under side of where hose meets engne and I cant see if anything is cracked or not. To touch everything seems just fine. -------------------- Captain Pessimist
