First thread ever so bare with me...
I recently replaced the ps pump due to the old one seizing on the freeway, causing my belt to break causing a whole list of problems.
anyways, I took care of everything including new belt, new pulley/pump and a few other minor things.
I thought everything was good to go but after driving to and from work (2 miles). i notice that my (tightened) power steering pump cap had fallen off while driving and was gone and my ps fluid was completely gone.
So I then try to locate the leak (cap was also replaced btw ) and find that pump and hoses seem to be fine. further investigation, in find is coming from what appears to be the gear box?
Im just self taught so i;m not totally sure but i'm pretty positive its the gear box? its under the pump pretty much and its attached to the steering wheel shaft i think?
I jusr want to make sure before i go out and buy the part and replace something thats not broken.
could it be something else??
why did the cap fall off while driving ? It was on there properly im 100% sure.
thanks in advanced y'all
