DarKZer0 Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 hey bro Power steering rack boot lid. It must be completely worn out and ripped apart. I just had mine done today and cost me $60 for it for a brand new one installed. Not a 100% sure that is the cause in this case but hoepfully it helps. There is one on each side, so check both sides.

dan_the_man Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Is that what smells? Nissan said it was slightly leaking... does it give off a foul odour? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/27965-power-steering-leak/#findComment-584498 Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyla Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 My steering rack started leaking a while back in my R33, I got it checked out by a mechanic, and he found that it was the rack seals that were leaking. So all the rack seals needed to be replaced, I just about fell over when they told me the price of getting new seals ($550NZ). What I ended up doing was buying a 2nd hand steering rack ($200). You could try NULON powersteering stop leak, It managed to stop the rack leaks in my old prelude, could be worth a try.
