I guess youve got a GQ???????????

It will be hose leaking esp when turning hard.
Cost about $90 from Enzed, Hose doctor etc to rebuild yours with old fittings and new better grade hose.

Remember to take weight off wheels when bleeding. Also let fluid settle so bubbles come out for an hour or so if hard to bleed or noisy.. Then bleed again if necessary.

As bazzle said go aftermarket enzed or pirtek could repair. Genuine nissan replacement high pressure line was around the $290 mark when I was ringing around to work out what the heck was going on.

I know this leak well I had my steering box replaced with a big late model GQ one. A week later a new leak developed and I was about to tear shreds out of the installer. But I got someone in the car to turn the wheel from lock to lock and the high pressure line was jizzing everywhere...

Mine was leaking on the low pressure side. A bracket holding the low pressure side had worn through the metal pipe.

Soldered it up and now is all good
