1992 xj40 vdp. Hello, can someone share what brand of stop leak i should use for power steering short fix? Appreciate any replies

 

I think this one come down to personal preference rather than anything as scientific as “which is best”.
also in different countries, different products will be available. I think the Lucas Oil products will be widely available in the US. That might be a good place to start.
Have you located the source of the leak though? Mostly these products work by softening the oil seals. I think they can only really be considered a short (to mid term at best) term fix? They won’t fix a hole or split in a pipe for example.

 

Thanks for the reply. The leak is coming from the high pressure pwr steering hose coming from the pump to the rack. Thanks again for the reply.

ok, this is one of the most common leak points on the PS. Do not waste your time using a stop leak product on this. It will not work. They are not designed for this type of leak. Replace the hose. Ideally a new hose. Or I have a used one available if you can’t find a new one.
message me for details. I can deliver to the US.

 

Thanks, I have a very good mechanic that can replace it. Very appreciative of the offer to ship me a used one but i’m good. I’m new to the club and excited. I need to find a replacement resovoir for the power steering, there is a temporary fix on the car now, but other than that my cat runs great!

It needs a bath. No rust at all

 

Ok good news then. It’s not a huge job to change the pipe. So it’s well worth it.

Rust free, free car! Lucky boy.
