Default Power Steering Box leak??

Can you see where the link fluid is pooled? That's where it comes leaking out of...
hello! I'm new here. I have had my 2004 Disco for 4 years, driving it regularly since my third child was born a few months ago...

recently the power steering was getting rough so i checked and it was super low, below the minimum line. So I topped it off since it looked clean and then within a week it got really bad and just a few days ago I noticed a puddle under my car and sure enough the reservoir was pretty much empty. I've located the leak-when the car is on and I turn the wheel it comes gushing out from what I believe is the pas line? I'm not too sure...looks like just a new o ring or something should do the trick but I can't be sure. I've searched the forums and rave manual and can't really find the answer I'm looking for. All hoses and clamps seem fine, btw...thanks in advance!

If it's leaking from one of these two hard lines attached to the steering box, then yes new o-rings should fix it.


This is actually a R drive vehicle, but yours should look similar. One bolt secures both lines. I don't remember the size but you should be able to match at any hardware or auto store.

My leak wasn't as bad as yours but I drained my fluid and refilled with Prestone High Mileage PS fluid and my leak stopped. The high mileage version also has a stop leak additive in it.
