Powersteering boiling over...

[caribeno]

i'm not particularly gifted either, but if you don't mind pulling off the p/s belt and pulling off the big pulley wheel at the base of the pump, then you should be ok. only thing is my car has 240k on it and orig. pump so the bolt holding the pulley wheel on was a mother to get loose. i'd spray a lot of penetrating lubricant on it first and let it sit for awhile before trying to loosen it. The seals are a little thick round one and a big thin one that goes on inside the pump...the pump is pretty easy to open up.

Hey man thanks alot....hope the parts guy is able to give me the correct seals....

I have the same problem, not sure what it is but its bubbling over, I think its cause I'm pulling air in through one of the lines, I put in a bottle of Lucas a few weeks ago made things a little better but it still sounds odd at start up.

I had the same problem with my 3g prelude, it happened shortly after i had refilled it with ATF (I didn't know then, that you should only use honda ps-f). The fluid just boiled/foamed out of the reservoir. I bled it all out and filled it with honda power steering fluid and didn't have any problems with it since then.

well, if you have a bad line, I think the lucas won't be good enough...I was recomending it more if the seals in the pump itself are bad or something....theres this line that seems to go on a lot of accords of this vintage, its only $26 cdn to get, and it should be easy to find underneath the car (look for the line thats all covered in ps fluid) oh, and if it sounds whiny on startup, it might be residual spilled fluid on your alternator and p/s belts, that goo got on my belts and whined like mad till it all finally dried up

caribeno: sorry man, I just realized I still have the bags the seals came in, hopefully this is in time to help you and the Canadian part #'s are the same in US

Little thick seal at base of pulley wheel: #91201-PT0-003
Thin larger seal: #91306-PT0-004

hope that is helpful

Well, what i will do is bleed out all the old ps fluid, replace with honda ps fluid, check all hoses....if this doesn't work then replace the seals...never hurts to try the simplest things first before the more difficult..

hey qbodsyt, thanks alot for the part#'s should be the same no matter what...

I'll keep you all up to date....thanks again...
