Hi everyone,
I'm have a bit of trouble with my my 405. The power steering fluid is dripping everywhere and I'm not sure how to find the leak. Is there a place where it usually starts leaking from? do the hoses start to leak or could it be a seal? Ill give the engine bay a good spray with degreaser then see if i can find it but the fluid is kind of everywhere on the side of the motor where the pump is mounted. Sorry for the vague description.
In other good news, the rubber in my shifter links had worn out (maybe from all of the power steering fluid dripping all over them?). They looked like a similar size to the bushings I use skating so Codman and I tried pressing some in with a vice and it worked!
Skateboard bushing are made of urethane and come in many different compounds and durometers so its sweet they can fit straight in and replace the old rubber parts.
