Default Time to give the jag some love

It’s been a while since I had anything to do on the jag, everything has been great ( knocks on wood)
however my issue isn’t even a jag one, it’s lt1 related!!! Not even a really big issue but one that bugs me regardless!!!
power steering pump has started whining, got a new pump coming, will be this weekends garage time job!!

Well that was uneventful!!! Will say it was easier to get the high pressure line attached without the pulley in place, other than that, I was in and out in 30 mins!!! No more whining, now I can hear the racket the roller rockers make!! Lol

Probably the same inside, but a
different model, the reservoir is separate!

I do see some seepage at water pump, as if the bolts are letting water past where it mounts and the front plate too! Definitely not a good thing on the lt with the optispark!! Guess I have another thing on my to do list now!!! Thinking going electric! Water pump, not car!! Lol
