Power Steering Pump Seal Kit for LAND ROVER Discovery II 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004

My power steering fluid has drained completely from my car. Landrover quoted me $1,055.37 for parts and labor to replace the 3 hoses. I decided to try to fix it myself and purchased the hoses from roverparts.com for $169. I replaced the hoses and wala, the hoses weren't the fix, its the pump. Seems like once there is pressure in the system the fluid is leaking out of the gasket on the pump. I found a Power Steering Pump Seal for sale here (Best Parts Online Product List). My question is, is has anyone replaced the gasket and it fixed the issue? I have searched quite a bit and only found people that replace the entire pump. I would rather pay $20 for this seal kit than $300 for a pump.

The main gasket has sealant on one side. Does that go towards the aluminum cover or the steel pump?

Thanks for your help!

Mine was leaking pretty bad. Emptied the entire contents of the resevoir out overnight. I ordered the kit online and just replaced the gasket in the middle between the two halves. Doesn't leak anymore.

I replaced my PS pump with al Allmakes from British Pacific at about $330 for the part.

We have an Allmakes PS OEM pump in:

1997 Discovery
2001 Discovery II.

Running fine.
But, the most satisfaction will be in rebuilding your pump, I am sure.

New PS pump about $230.
British Pacific.
Aftermarket.
Took about an hour to install.
Don't over tighten the 3 10mm bolts on the pulley - it will break the pump metal.

Bleed it with the bleed screw on the steeering box.
and you are good to go.

Fairly easy job.
Just slow with the hoses.
