Stop leak for a leaking power steering pump?

[GWTWTLW]

Has anyone had any success using stop leak for a leaky power steering pump? I know I need to replace it but I’m hoping to buy a little time…

Thanks!

Pete

It's worth a try. The steering gear on my '91 was leaking a dozen years ago, and after adding fluid with a stop leak added it is dry today.

It will stop a seep, it won’t stop a drip or flow.

i've had ONE success with stop leak in my life... one. old Mercedes PS pump, flinging oil from the shaft seal. tried ATP AT-205 and i'll be durned if it didn't slow, then stop. been fine for over a year now.

that same stuff, AT-205, did zilch on a crankshaft seal on a neighbor's car.

worth a try.

It turns out it is actually the switch that’s leaking (although the pump has been weeping for a long time now). I threw some Lucas in to see if it’ll slow it down enough until I can find a replacement…
