Steering rack oil leak?!
« on: February 08, 2014, 01:40:45 PM »
I thought I had managed to fix the oil leaks but I am left with a slow drip of oil (couple of drops per week) from the passenger side steering rack gaiter.  That's seems a bit odd as non-power steering racks are usually greased :-X I can probably stop the leak by refreshing the (loose) cable tie holding it onto the track-rod but that doesn't explain why there is oil in it.  THe BIS manual makes no mention of oil in the rack.  Can anyone shed any light?

Thanks,

Keith
