Woke up today to this massive puddle under my Discovery:


Had NO Idea what happened UNTIL I started the car up and noticed when I turned the steering wheel that it was power steering fluid SPITTING out of a that pipe connection...




Can someone tell me what needs to be replaced? I can't seem to figure out what part is exactly and if the entire Pump needs to be replaced???

 

I can’t tell from the photos. You probably need to clean it a bit and try to find out where it is exactly coming from. The pumps have been prone to leaking but I wouldn’t have expected it to suddenly leak catastrophically. People have been warning about buying the replacement pumps as the rebuilds do not seem to be of very good quality. There are a few threads on this site that detail rebuilding them yourself.

 

If you are lucky, and it is leaking from the connection for the metal tubes, then you might only need to replace an o-ring or two.

 

Yep, looks like the o-ring is cracked or missing. That's the high-pressure hose.

 

Alright everyone, I got the o-ring pack (ordered 2 just in case)

Do you guys know where I can find instruction of how to put it in? I have no idea as I'm not familiar with this area of the truck.



This is the image of what it looks like.

 

Replace the o-rings and it slowed the leak but it's still dripping out from somewhere.
