Stop leak? Seriously? I feel really bad for whoever buys your vert. Have fun replacing ps lines and a rack...

Well ya dude! Replacing 75 cent crush washers is too complicated.

I don't even need to say it but keep stop leak away from your E30.

The value just went down quite a bit to anyone who knows that fact and may be interested in buying the car.

When you neglect to properly repair and maintain a car, it ends up costing you more money later down the road, not to mention how well the car performs and operates.

Agreed. That's the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Hell, even a good used hose and some new crush washers, and you're back on the road-- leak free even!

I didn't buy the stop leak. I meant the power steering fluid I have has stop leak in it.... Honestly I'll be replacing the pump and hose anyway. Its old enough I might as well.

Power steering is for noobs anyway. Just cut the belt

Ok that was funny. One of those power steering delete things wouldn't be a bad idea though. Wasnt someone selling then on R3VLimited?

[BraveUlysses]

yup

[Wschnitz]

Is there a major difference in feel? Can anyone who has done it tell me?

[e30austin]

Looks like Japandrew's back for the time being. What a fucking tool.

Ugh, I hate this mentality. Here's an idea, learn how to fix things properly. What a concept, fixing things on your stock e30, CRAAAAZY TALK!! Do not put stop leak in power steering fluid, that's fucking stupid. If you can't afford to buy new shit, find a good used unit. Don't be Toes, be smart.

[Wschnitz]

Thanks for the advice Mlarsen, ill avoid Power steering fluid that includes stop leak in it from now on. I've got the cash but I was keeping it in reserve in case of a big problem.

Until then I think ill at least order a new hose and washer and see if that helps. I think most of the leak is coming from the bottom of the reservoir and not from the pump itself.

[e30austin]

No power steering fluid comes with stop leak in it......

BTW, you should be using ATF for your PS fluid, anyway.

Dipshitz and 5cells have to be related
