power steering hose leaks

Postby gleem » Mon Mar 08, 2010 6:07 pm

ive got a bad leak in my hose were the alloy joins to the rubber bit. Its a real bitch to get to so want to try cover it before replacing it. it only leaks when its on full lock and under real pressure. when i say leak i mean squirt!. ive tried stop leak and silicon. the silicone just poped of. So any more ideas. i was thinking a bit of ruber and clamp it there

Replace it.
Don't try to stop it with your finger, cause when its pressure is up it'll work just like one of those no needle air powered things for medical vaccines/shots & put fluid into you!!![/b]

um oil injection. lol
I would look for some but I saw enough to last me on my training.

Basically if you get oil injected under pressure, the only way for them to help you is to remove ALL flesh that is infected.
Now consider that as soon as it's injected it starts travelling through the area it can get nasty....
I saw one pic of a guy who was hit in the thumb, and they had to carve huge channels out of him most of the way up his forearm.....
