Gday guys, having some dramas with my 94 diesel lux after the weekend out scrubbin.. i wos out playin in the mud, and managed to hit a mud hole approx half a car length wide that was disguised by murky water, not realising how deep and hit it sideways in the full lock position.. after every thing was clean from carwash, got home and realised the p/steer box was leaking.. i have no idea whats wrong with it, and cant find one from the wreckers..
Question being, has anyone had a similar thing happen to them b4?
And if so, could you help me out with how i should fix it? as it is leaking approx 1 tank of p/steer fluid every 2 days!!
With thanks Chris. [/u]

take it out and take to a steering shop to look at. If you take it out it shoudnt cost too much for them to strip down and rebuild it
