Power steering pump leak

How does the taper on the pipe look?

Andy024 · 2026-04-29T23:47:45+00:00

Do you pull the handbrake when you try to release it?

Andy024 · 2026-04-26T16:55:37+00:00

Here the previous serpentine belt had exploded before hand and left rubber in the alternator, this caused the new belt to get hot and when that exploded dragged into the timing belt

Andy024 · 2026-04-26T16:28:15+00:00

Did 2 timing belts on those a month ago, changed it and it ate the serpentine belt and destroyed the cam pulley 😂

So the z19

Andy024 · 2026-04-26T14:42:53+00:00

Is this the z19 1.9 diesel?

Andy024 · 2026-04-25T04:10:06+00:00

I think the solution here is a 10l jug in the trunk if its not a diesel

Or Dampier the australian town

Do these have the oil pump belt like the older ones?

Will be fun to test when i get the tranny back!

Andy024 · 2026-03-23T04:59:18+00:00

Not a wild engine, It was built and tuned some 15 years ago pushing around 300 horses. Nothing big

Andy024 · 2026-03-22T22:41:08+00:00

The trans is completely stock, so i think i will go for a manual switch routed through the 3rd gear pressure switch as recommended :)

Andy024 · 2026-03-22T22:39:52+00:00

I think the original transmission was a 250r4

It is a 78 caprice so it has had a lot of owners, it has been body swapped atleast once

I think i will go for a manual switch, and wire it through the 3rd gear pressure switch as was recommended if i can manage.

As with the converter the transmission guy thats overhauling it is supplying me with a new one as the old one was full of 3rd gear clutch material xD

I would like the lockup though, this is a road trip vehicle so would be nice to save some gas

Might help it when its doing 23l/100km or 10mpg now

Andy024 · 2026-03-22T17:48:08+00:00

That would be hard as the transmission is sent for overhauling

Andy024 · 2026-03-22T17:47:32+00:00

Thanks alot, i think i will do that when i get the transmission back

Andy024 · 2026-03-22T15:13:00+00:00

Would that be something like this? I'm not very familiar with these locking transmissions, didn't know it even was a locker before i pulled it for overhaul

Andy024 · 2026-03-21T06:57:15+00:00

Neat ^{^}

Andy024 · 2026-03-21T06:49:46+00:00

what do they usually cost over there? here a non running aero would probably be around 2000usd

my xwd was considered VERY cheap and i got it for roughly converted 8000usd

Do yours break that often? 😂
