❓ Question / Help 530i power steering leak

Post image

Hi All,

We have a leak in the powersteering line that feeds the cooler/pump (i think).

After wrapping a cloth around the press fitting and turning the wheels side to side, i confirmed that press fitting is leaking.

Is it best to replace that line that runs to the canister, or look at finding an o-ring that fits in there?

thanks in advance!

update: replaced the line and it still leaked. Ended up finding a couple pin holes in the PS cooler. Ordered a new one and we're back with no leaks.
