Power Steering Leak

[Schism]

Hello,

Just before my MOT the other day I noticed my power steering failing a bit, most of the time it's okay. When it came to my MOT I have an advisory for a leak in the power steering. Is this an easy job to do? Or shall I take it back for them to sort?

Cheers.

hi, is your saxo lowered?, & no its easy if your willing, i kept my steering straight so not under pressure, you will need fluid as you will lose some (top one is bit fiddly) its a simple undo both ends & fit new, need anymore info ill try help.

It depends where the leak is.

If you open your bonnet and look down there should be a tube connected to the pump with a nut.

Check to see if the nut is tight as I had a leak and this is where it was coming from

No it's not lowered. What tube would I need?

Many thanks for the replies.
