Subject:Power steering leak- plastic tube on rack
From:Matt Faust

Help needed...

   My power steering rack leaks ( severely) from the
right side when I turn the wheels to the left all the
way.  Upon investigation, there is a plastic tube with
plastic elbows that spans from the left side of the
rack to the right.  The elbow on the right side was
hanging out of the rack.  I wiped it off and plugged
it back in, but it looks like it is cracked.
  Is this tube a dealer only part?  What holds it in?
It looks like it has an o-ring on it but it was really
dried out hards to tell.
  I checked the steering section of the bently and
found no mention of this part.
 Any help or info is greatly appreciated, by me and my
driveway!

Thanks,
Matt
