Hi Everyone - I have a 2006 Honda element. The power steering is leaking at the o ring where the fluid enters the pump. I have a connector that only has one screw side and it might be aftermarket or OEM, but there is a location for another screw on the other side of the hole on the pump itself. I can only find doorman O rings for the entry/exit seals and installed them. It's still leaking on the intake o-ringand I want a picture of a CRV or element of similar vintage of this so I know if I can try to get a new connector. I don't want to pay for a whole new power steering pump. I can NOT find a part for only this plastic hose nozzle to powering steering pump connection. I can't get junk yards around here to look for a part this insignificant and we don't have U-pick yards. Any ideas? Could I try throwing some gasket maker in with the o-ring? any new parts out there I can't find?
Thanks if you have info!
If you're talking about just the intake side, there is very little pressure there. So you could easily try a new o-ring and clean it off. Really good the inside and the out make some JB weld kwik epoxy snap it together and let it sit overnight 12 hours or so. That would keep it from leaking unless it's all wallowed out inside, in which case you'd have to replace the part
