    Default Power Steering Pump Leak

    Well, I came home today to notice a nice pile of petosin on the floor in my garage. I jacked up the car and got underneath to check it out and the Power Steering pump appears to be leaking from right behind where the pulley attatches. Does anyone here know if the "gasket kit" includes the necessary seal to fix this issue? Also, am I wasting my time since I am installing some Konis next week and will be eliminating the SLS? Any help would be appreciated.

    well, unless you dont need power steering, i would get it fixed. the SLS just uses the common reservoir because pentosin is so good.

    i have not seen any kind of gasket set, but that doesnt mean one doesnt exist.

    I found a gasket kit for the stock pump on realoem for around 50 bucks. I have no clue as to what it consists of but I am really hoping it should do the trick.

    I worded that wrong as well. I meant should I delete the M5 pump in favor of the 535 pump.
