Smile Power steering
Hello from a cold Scotland

I was wondering if anyone tried the Lucas leak stop for the famous power steering reservoir leak?

Stop leaks usually just end up gumming things up. Don't use them, just replace the part.

Agree with Pure drifter,, I have used it. It did SLOW the leak down considerably, but it still was leaking.

Stop leak is for seals that are worn as it swells them.
