  • Is your power steering shuddering or leaking fluid? In this episode of Kelvin's Garage, we test out Lucas Power Steering Stop Leak on our 8th gen 2006-2011 Honda Civic! By now, the power steering system is pretty old and in need of a little TLC. Leaks and wear can appear anywhere in the power steering system including the reservoir, hoses, pump and rack. Instead of doing a major overhaul, we are going to show you how to drain and refill the power steering reservoir with Lucas Power Steering Stop Leak which is guaranteed to work!

    I been using the Lucas power steering fluid stop leak for many months and I still have a slow leak. I diagnosed it to the power steering pump and replaced the o rings on the hoses connected to the pump. The old o rings were stiff and the Lucas stuff did not soften and rejuvenate them as marketed. My real fix was to order new o rings and install them myself.

    I got a slow leak that started leaking a little more recently. I bought a bottle of this to try. My rack is about shot and my lines are rusty AF so I'm gonna be completely overhauling the whole system soon. But hopefully this stuff either stops or slows the leak to buy me some time until then. It's either leaking from the pump itself or the pressure line going into the pump. The fluid in the reservoir looks as silver as anti seize due to being full of metal shavings so I'll be replacing the rack, pump, and all the lines. So far I only bought the rack. Still trying to save money for everything else. Lol

    I have tried inserting an old O-ring into this fluid, and for 3 days there has been no change. The only noticeable thing is that sedimentation has begun to appear in the fluid from the O-ring itself and that a dark mark has appeared in the place where it was.
    I then placed a new O-ring in another container with this fluid and it became slightly thicker over the same period of days.

    If you’re hearing whining, it’s not from a leak. It’s from air in the system caused by the leak. Bleed the system BEFORE buying this. If the noise doesn’t go away, then fixing a small leak isn’t going to solve the problem. Just get a new pump and hoses. Wouldn’t be a bad time to replace the power steering oil cooler, power steering gearbox, and power steering pump and hoses if you have the money for it. The hardest part is removing the pump for most vehicles.

    • @kovalenkoihor4325
      @kovalenkoihor4325 3 месяца назад

      Not clear what bleeding means. If sterring pump is working, it's pumping fluing through all the time together with bubbles, meaning there is no bubbles

    • @kelvinsgarage
      @kelvinsgarage  Год назад +4

      No need to add power steering fluid because the system below (pump, hoses, rack) already contains the original power steering fluid. Only the volume of the reservoir is filled with the Lucas.

    • @emanuelbalbin2566
      @emanuelbalbin2566 Год назад

      And then what? Should we refill the reservoir with Lucas again or should we fill it with the regular power steering fluid

    • @kelvinsgarage
      @kelvinsgarage  Год назад +1

      The power steering system will use the Lucas in place of the power steering fluid. The Lucas is a power steering fluid with stop leak agents inside of it. If it doesn’t work and you lose enough fluid to warrant a refill then the leak needs a professional repair.

    where is the actual leak coming from? this is a very unpromising "fix" this is more of a bandaid fix then anything

    • @kelvinsgarage
      @kelvinsgarage  Год назад +4

      This is an easy, additive based fix so there was no diagnosing the leak. From what I can tell, if the fluid level is not dropping (or dropping as fast) then it should be stopping the leak. Again, this is not a replacement for a physical repair and I am not sponsored by Lucas, just sharing some knowledge!
