    Hi everybody,
    I went to SOK a couple of weeks ago and had my steering pump replaced.
    GREAT SERVICE over there by the way!! Thanks to King and everybody for taking care of my car and cleaning the engine bay!! I was amazed when I opened the hood!
    Back to my little concern. I had power steering S/S lines installed and, as King told me, looks like I have a tiny leak at the junction of the line and steering rack which could cause me to have to replace the P/S pump again(I really don't want to!).
    SOK advised me to replace the O-RING but I can't find anything on this. Does anyone know what kind of O-RING it is or should I replace the whole line?
    Thanks for your help!

    Honestly I would go back to whomever supplied you with the line.

    As far as I know there are only two lines available mine and the P&L kit, the orings are a factory part and the new lines don't come with them. I've never seen one fail or leak unless its knicked during install. It should be a standard metric oring though and you should be able to find them at any hardware store.

    That was the line who came with the APS rotated turbo. I tried to see if APS would sell the lines or o-ring but nothing was on their website. I'll try to contact them.
    Mike, this is what I should do but I don't know if I, really, wanna do it.
    Thanks

    The O-ring is a factory part if its leaking from there they probably won't replace it. Just pick up a metric oring from the auto parts store. If you actually need a line I've got replacement lines that are actually nicer than the APS but they run $95.00 so it would be nice to get a free one if you could.

    Do you know what the size of the o-ring is? I can't unscrew the line to check, my car is my dd.
