Mr Phil

does anybody know how to replace the o ring that's in between the reservoir and the power steering pump? I was on another forum talking to some people about a leak that I can't find, and a few members suggested that it's probably the $0.75 o ring that goes in between the pump and the reservoir. But I do not know how to access it or where it even is lol. I tried looking under the hood but I could not find it so if anybody has any pictures or a link that would be appreciated thank you

The O-ring is an odd size, so if you get it wrong, you could get a really bad leak replacing a really small leak. I don't think this is your problem, though. Typically, we have issues with boil-over. Boil-over would look just like a leading O-ring, except you'll have fluid or residue on the top of the tank.

The O-ring holds back just the fluid in the tank, which is low pressure. It would be highly unlikely that it would leak unless messed with.

Why would you do a thing like that?
