    PowerSteering Puked...Literally

    Yesterday I was on an onramp getting up to speed when I smelled burnt oil, looked in my mirror and a PLUME of smoke was coming out the back. First thought, oh shit my motor's gone. Then to my relief(kinda)my steering got hard. Pulled over to check it out, There's oil running down the outside of my fender. Pop the hood, the resivoir cap is off, And the metal hose coming out of the front of the pump was blown off the pump. My hood and half the engine bay is soaked in ps fluid. Anyway, would just changing the pump take care of this or is there another problem lurking?
    Thanks!

    it blew the bolts out that holds the line on???!?! holy poop.

    It sounds to me like there was a serious pressure backup in the system. Could be caused by something being clogged in the system

      this happened to be one time but i do not remember anything serious of it. I think i just wiped it down and put the cap back on. But the line never popped off like yours.

          I've never known that to happen... but yeah, the pump makes the pressure, so that's probably what did it. You should try to determine if it's a blockage in the pump, or in the lines. A new pump will do it again if it's in the lines.

          Be sure to hit your engine bay with degreaser ASAP. Power steering fluid will destroy your paint, and you'll have major rust issues very quickly.

            Not the line thats bolted on, this one [IMG][/IMG] hmm I wonder what could be clogged. I'm definitely going to get a different pump since i doubt this one is usable now. OH yeah when I started her up yesterday it squealed for like 2 seconds but I didn't think much of it. Thanks for the tip Deev I didn't know it would damage anything.

              Yeah, hydraulic fluid is extremely corrosive. Very bad for anything rubber or plastic, as well... Clean off all hoses and wires.

                    Thats acually a return line there shouldnt be any pressure there. a remanufactured one costs about 75-100. Worth the extra money VS a used. in my opinion

                        that happened on my old cb7. i ended up getting a ziptie around that loops around the rear of the pump and on the side of the elbow, and then just tightned it. it's still working to this day as far as i know.
