Hi there all, my buddie's '84 240 Turbo Wagon is leaking power steering fluid and is having trouble passing Washington,DC inspection. Is there a quick and inexpensive cure to get this fixed?? A band-aid fix which will allow him to pass?? - then he can focus on the problem at large??

thanks for any suggestions!!

hello!

you might want to tighten all the hose clamps on the hoses that relate to the p/s. also, try cleaning out the p/s pump area to help isolate the pump and to mae it more presentable. I have a minor p/s leak. I cleaned the area and figured it might be from the big hose (sorry, I don't know the tech. term), so I tightened it along with all the other p/s clamps. that kind of fixed it, but the p/s area got dirty again, but it's not that bad. I don't seem to be losing much p/s fluid. never really bothered to get it fixed either.
