was checkin under the hood today and noticed that my power steering pump is leaking at teh x-plug. Just ordered my Craftsman drag link socket and its off to the stealership on monday for the plug. Booourns :-P

I bought this one:

It looks like the right one. I'd confirm that it fits, except I never managed to get my old one out!

I cant just leave it in, fluid is bubbling out a bit and i want to replace it before it really blows. I have euro-etka on my machine and i was gonna check it. I'm gonna do a weekend of maintenance next week i think. I'm ordering motor and tranny mounts and a new brake bomb as mine has bit teh dust. The car should be awesome with all new mounts and brake bomb

Mine is a very slow leak. I really busted up the plug trying to get it out with a home-made tool. Not a great design for the plug if you ask me.

When I get time I'm going to give it another shot, this time using heat and the proper bit (if I can find one). If that doesn't work I guess it's time to find somebody with a welder.

thats why I ordered a drag link socket already Its a slow leak but I'd rather spend the 12 bucks up front and have the right tool for the job.

I took my pump and socket to the closest Firestone - paid mechanic couple bux to undo them.

I had pump leaking as well. Ended up rebuilding whole deal.

Just FYI
There is 2nd X-Plug on opposite side and you not really getting to it without removing your pump.

At the same time I would send high pressure hose for rebuid.

Now my all system dry and I even got some rust on X-Plug after washed my engine :-)
