Default Help. DII o-ring size for PAS cooling line?

Hopefully someone recently messed with this and can help me out.

On top of the steering box I have a leak where the cooling line connects.
I been thru rave a few times but cannot find a part number, it only says "replace o-rings".
??Is there more than one o-ring on the pipe??
??anyone know a part# or size??

I bought a multi pack with no luck
even tried a new buick one I had for my old buick,,,,no luck
It was close, but still small leak.

Thanks again, wanna get this fixed before my wifes arms get any bigger.

Your only place to go would be the dealer and they may have to order them.

Only one o-ring on the end of the pipe.

I've had no issues using metric o-rings from an assortment pack. The two lines are different sizes - one may be 5mm, the other 6mm? I just can't remember. I suppose if the cross section diameter is too big, that would give you issues.

If you have a pair of calipers (they can be had for cheap), then measure the spot in the pipe where the o-rings rides. IIRC o-ring sizes are the inner diameter, not the outer.

Be sure to lube up the o-ring with some p/s fluid, petroleum jelly (this is what I prefer to use), etc. in the hopes of not binding/pinching/damaging the o-ring.

Ok, thanks for the info. One ring and lube it.
I will look for a metric pack, the standard was a hair shy.
I doubt the dealer will gouge me much if I have to order it.
Unless they only come in a rebulid kit.
