I have a 1.9 Sdi octavia, I have a power steering leak, but can not find the exact source of the leak. Any ideas if the rack has seals or if it has to be a pipe or something that has the leak??

Could be leaking into the rack if the fluid isn't coming out anywhere.

There have been a few discussions on this recently, but i can't remember where, so a search of the site might help.

Hopefully somebody who knows or remember will be along soon enough.

Welcome to brisky

most likely place is the rack, where the track rrods come out...

normally you just bin them when they start leaking because once they start you can never stop them

I can't see any leaks from any of the pipes so i'm goign to look in the cv boots. If it is the rack, :thumbdwn:

Anyone know of a cheap place to get a new rack?:confused:

Need to get it sorted asap.

Also thanks for the help so far

the fluid doesn't go anywhere near the cv boots.

you should be able to get one of those from german and swedish. tis the same as the mk4 golf

Thanks for the info about the rack being same as mk4 golf.

I meant the steering rack gaitors, but been bit stressed with the car so not thinking straight.

Anyone else got any ideas of where to find cheap rack?

:think:
