Just trying to understand structure of the power steering reservoir. There is a very minor loss of fluid which may be from the top of the low-pressure hoses or possibly the reservoir itself. I have seen a diagram showing two unions (with o ring) into base of the alloy mounting piece, and then two o rings on the top of the mounting block, but how does the reservoir fix to the mounting block? I do have a spare somewhere but for the life me of cannot find it.
Cast Al Mount (with O-rings)
Two spigots, threaded into bottom of mount
Sheet metal bent into a “Tube” inserted into top of offcenter hole in mount
Reservoir “Bowl”.
Clamping plate
Spreader/filter base
Spigot, threaded through spreader, clamping plate, bowl, into base.
If I can find the spare I’ll refurbish that one (with a not a little silicone gloop to add to the party) then do a swap, otherwise I’ll leave it - the loss is very minor.
The central union (in the reservoir, under the filter) may get a tweak first though.
