Default Leaking Power Steering Pump

I've located the leak and it's this seal. Is this replaceable and if so what's it called?

that looks like the power steering box, not the pump. Looking at my RAVE manual [DII], the part is called the "seal - input shaft - steering box" and a direction for replacement is given, but the part number is not listed.

Yes the idea, but probably different parts. Here is what you need: OEQ Steering Gear Seal Kit

Seems as though you've gotta buy the whole kit.

Thanks I ordered the kit.
Next on the list is another leak. There are 2 hoses one at the oil filter and the other at the pan. Anybody know what you call these?

Those are your oil cooler lines, which are simple to replace. They route from the oil filter cavity to the radiator, passenger side, attached at the top and bottom.

I ordered replacements from British Pacific. You will need to order the TOP and BOTTOM hoses.

Good luck.

Next on my list is making front and back bumpers.
Saw these the other day on a Jeep. I'll be copying this design for the most part with a few changes to work better with the Disco obviously. Bumpers are crazy expensive and I can do it for a lot less $$$.

Do good bumpers and you may have found a side job that pays for the Disco parts and more...

Well, I'll plan on doing GREAT bumpers then. Extra $$ is always welcomed. I used to weld pump housings that were used on Navy ships so I got the the welding down. It's gonna be more making a great design that works well. Also, I've been wondering about what to finish them with. The bumpers in the pics were kind of rough and seemed to have an almost bedliner finish to them.
