Power Sterring Pump on 95 Accord
I notice that there is a little black grime accumulating around the PS pump,
so I assume it has a small leak. Not sure if its a hose or not, but I suspect the shaft seal. Its not enough to noticeably lower the reservoir level, but it might be getting worse. Any recommendations on: 1) Rebuild using a seal kit? 2) Replacement? (New, OEM, Rebuilt?) Thanks -- Paul J. |
Re: Power Sterring Pump on 95 Accord
that would be a replacement but I would just keep an eye on it.

Many of the auto junk yard dealers are now on a special computer network and can get you the part you need even if they don't have a wrecked 95 Accord on their lot. -- NEWSGROUP SUBSCRIBERS MOTTO We respect those subscribers that ask for advice or provide advice.

Re: Power Steering Pump on 95 Accord
I ordered a re-build kit the other day for my 91 Civic's PS pump, as I suspect a
leak due to oil beneath it (could be valve cover seals, though). If the PS pump is leaking, it's very slow as the PS fluid reservoir level seems to be holding fine. The kit is about $15 from Autozone, special order. Googling suggested a rebuild might be worth a try. Krunch and Jason may know better, of course. Pep Boys sells rebuilt OEM PS pumps for under $200. I saw several on Ebay recently (at least one would have worked on my Civic), too. They're under $100 or $50, IIRC. If push comes to shove, I'm probably going with an OEM rebuild from Pep Boys or maybe Autozone.

The front shaft seal on some of Honda's power steering pumps can be replaced. I know that this was true for their earlier models '90-93 (http://tinyurl.com/259l2) however it looks like they redesigned the pump beginning in '94 http://tinyurl.com/37s4t. Take a rag and clean the pump off, with the motor off of course, and see if you can better identify the source of the leak. Eric |

Re: Power Sterring Pump on 95 Accord
I had a 89 accord that took a year to go thru half a pint of fluid. I
sold the car, and gave a bottle of P.S. fluid to the buyer! bob motsco_ _ wrote: > > > You forgot Option 3) Wipe it off, Ignore it. Cut the lawn instead. > > 'Curly' |
