I have a 1995 suburban it had a seal in the steering box that was leaking i took it to a dealer they fixed the seal but now i have fluid coming out of the power steering pump fill cap i replaced the cap but it didn,t help what can i do now the pump doesn,t work because it ran dry

Sounds like the pitman arm. See #5 on diagram below. It has a ball joint with grease that is held in with a boot. It the boot is cracked open, you should replace the arm. You will need an alignment after replacing the arm. The arm does not contain any steering fluid, so if that is leaking, you have another seal broken somewhere...

if the leak is coming from the steering box there are usually only 3 places it can come from;most common place is the pitman shaft seal,which can be replaced.this is were the pitman arm of the steering connects to the steering box.another place is the steering box input shaft seal,this is were the steering colume connects to the steering box,which can be replace.the last place is the power steering hoses were they connect to the steering box.there are seals that seal the lines when screwed into the box which can also be replaced.so first you need to see exactly were the leak is coming from.rare occasions the steering box is porous which means the box will need replacing.a car of this age should have shown up long ago.you will have to clean the box off at the car wash then run the car and turn the steering wheel all the way to one side,this will build up pressure in the system to show up the leak quicker.

Your system will have to be cleaned out. Master cylinder and all the caliper cylinders overhauled. Never put anything but brake fluid into the brake system. The seals are all insind the individual cylinders.

Have you checked the fluid level? if not then need to.

If fluid level is full and you have not just done work on system so air could be trapped then problem is a p/s pump going out

FIRST MECHANICS COULD HAVE TIGHTEN LINE TOO TIGHT AND DAMAGED THE SEAL IN LINE FITTING.TAKE CAR BACK TO FIRST DEALER.LET THEM KNOW POWER STEERING IS STILL LEAKING AND THEY DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.THEY SHOULD NOT CHARGE YOU ANYTHING JOB SHOULD BE DONE RIGHT THE FIRST TIME.

Yes Mistydogg, the solution posted here is absolutely correct. And be sure to remove (as much as possible) of the factory power steering fluid from the reservoir and replace with automatic transmission fluid (ATF). Do this a few times during regular oil changing intervals to cycle-out the original factory fluid. The 1995 Camry was shipped from the factory with clear/typical power steering fluid, however (strangely) the factory service manual calls for replacing with automatic steering fluid. Well, it's actually not so strange. ATF has a seal swelling effect that will stop the leaking within your entire power steering system - fast. I ran into the same problem in a big way. The dealer wanted to replace my pump and rack at 50k miles at the remanufactured parts plus labor price of $1,200. I am leak-free today on my same pump and rack at 241k miles having switched over to ATF. Enjoy your great car!

Yes most of the time you can get a seal to replace the one that is there. I am pretty sure the parts stores have one for your steering gear box.

your seal is probably gone.

the steering boxes on those were leaky messes, seal kits, rebuilt and new units are availible. expect a couple hours for a good mechanic to remove and replace, resealing takes a longer once the unit is out. be sure to also check the steering hoses and pipes for leaks, pretty much everything is located in the front left of the engine compartment. check out roversnorth.com and atlanticbritish.com for parts and prices. stay away from land rover dealers if you can to save on cost.

The Crank Seal is Part of the Motor Not the Power Steering Pump. You can take your Truck to the Car wash and Clean the Motor Really well While RUNNING. And then just Drive home. You will be able to see exactly where the Leak is Coming From. Please Rate My Response! Thanks!
