terryk2003 Posted June 27, 2005 Report Posted June 27, 2005 is it just coming out from around the cap!?...i don't think mine leaks there...maybe you should change the cap!? :? Quote
Cam'ron Posted June 27, 2005 Author Report Posted June 27, 2005 its worth a shot i was wondering more if there was anything you could put in the cap... like a seal or anything like that to stop leakage Quote
Cam'ron Posted June 27, 2005 Author Report Posted June 27, 2005 i check it all the time thinkin it is loose but it is hella tight.... sorry for the dbl post just though of that Quote
terryk2003 Posted June 27, 2005 Report Posted June 27, 2005 is there an o-ring or something inside the cap!?...i can't remember...if its right it shouldnt be coming out though...its not overfilled is it!?...or it could be from turning the wheels with the engine off!?... Quote
Cam'ron Posted June 27, 2005 Author Report Posted June 27, 2005 ok i dont have anything inside the cap... if there should be something there please somebody let me know so i can get it, i am getting tired of cleaning that shit up ... not overfull or anything like that Quote
Crimson Fury Z Posted June 28, 2005 Report Posted June 28, 2005 try for a new or any other 3.4 sfi car's cap. Quote
Cam'ron Posted June 28, 2005 Author Report Posted June 28, 2005 thought it might be the hose too but it is tight, it is coming from the cap. Quote
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted June 28, 2005 Report Posted June 28, 2005 I doubt it's just the cap. Possibly the pully spraying fluid out since it's going all over the engine. Try taking the belt off and looking around the pump cause it might need to be replaced. I had to do it on my 88 GP. PS fluid will eat away at your serp belt! Quote
Cam'ron Posted June 28, 2005 Author Report Posted June 28, 2005 i know that why i am kinda concerned about it... i will do that tomorrow Quote
Redwingvksm Posted June 28, 2005 Report Posted June 28, 2005 Happened to my Jeep, my dad's current Ram, and Bro's Durango. Â Just suck some of the PS fluid out. It's slightly over full and when it sloshes it mixes with the air creating a fine-oil mist. When the engine heats up - the air/oil expands and pushes that fine mist out. Fixed it with removing the P/S fluid to the bottom of the cold line while warm! Â Hope this helps! Â :Edit: Â Just really paid attention to winsheild area - you are spraying PS fluid somewhere. Give it a wash, have someone hold it all the way to one side (so the pump whines) and look for the leak! Quote
Brian P Posted June 28, 2005 Report Posted June 28, 2005 there's supposed to be an orange seal on the underside of the cap. Clean that up (it should still be good) clean the resevoir opening, make sure you're not overfilled. Quote
Cam'ron Posted June 29, 2005 Author Report Posted June 29, 2005 :oops: yeah i have the orange seal i will try the cleaning and watching for leak thing Quote
1990lumina Posted June 30, 2005 Report Posted June 30, 2005 Mine was overfilled, and it sprayed out the cap....but since you say it isn't overfilled I dunno what to say. Quote
JoroCorona Posted June 30, 2005 Report Posted June 30, 2005 Dont hold it against the lock unless you wanna kill the pump. Quote
buckethead Posted June 30, 2005 Report Posted June 30, 2005 I had a leaking PS pump... turns out there's an O-ring between the pump and the resevoir and that had worn away.... A garage charged me $30 to change it out and that fixed my problem. That's probably your problem if you can't find it leaking out of any of your hoses. Quote
