nickzahra693 New Member 19 Member For: 5y 1m 19d Posted 04/10/20 08:17 AM Share Posted 04/10/20 08:17 AM Hey guys I’ve had to get the Xr6T towed today as the power steering burst spraying out fluid, while I was parking on a slopes driveway. The power steering reservoir and o ring was replaced approx 12 months ago due to a slow leak... now the fluid isn’nt spraying from the thread but under the nut on the pipe side.... would this be due to a crack in the pipe or has the o ring possibly given away...? Thanks Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
