Default 95 Sc400

I bought a 95 SC400 with 138,000 miles 4 weeks ago before I bought this car I was looking at mustangs. they were nice cars with good power then I saw my SC400 on the internet went to see it test drove it and forgot all about that other car paid 4700 and have'nt looked back and in that time
i've noticed 1 thing that concerns me. 1 of the powersteering lines leak it does'nt appear to be the pump. Is there any special tools or advice I might need to replace this line. It appears to be the high pressure line.

yea, high pressure line probably has a crack or something, go get it checked at a shop and replace it, and you should have no more problems.

if it was a high pressure line it would be all over the place.. If its not a high pressure line most likly its the seals in the pump or the return line... you can replace the pump for about 120 bucks or replace the seals for $10... my best advice is to Fix it very very fast or it will kill you alternator (right below the pump) and will cost you an avoidable $115.. good luck and hope you enjoy your new ride..


BTW post up some pics

Good call on the pressure. I'm sure it's just the seals, a cheap and easy fix. Do get on it ASAP though to avoid any future damage.
