Steering rack leak

markyp · 10th November 2011, 19:05

I have found a slight leak on both rod ends of the steering rack, i can't feel any play in the bush's so the seals are weeping. So the question is has any one used Lucus power steering stop leak and if so did it work

..
I don't expect it to stop a large leak but hope it will stop the oil seaping out

Hello,
I have used it on my XJ6 4L, it was loosing about .5 ltr per week thro the seals,
Over 2 years now and still not had to top up again,
Mine took just under 2 bottles of Lucas,
No complaints from me, I found it great. If yours is not gushing oil give it a try, you have everything to gain
