Thank you, Kevin. I too have a 2006 blue Honda Civic with the power steering leak. This is May 2024. Thank you ; You taught me as a woman how to fix my power steering leak

hopefully the stop leak will hold up and good luck to you!

I been using the Lucas power steering fluid stop leak for many months and I still have a slow leak. I diagnosed it to the power steering pump and replaced the o rings on the hoses connected to the pump. The old o rings were stiff and the Lucas stuff did not soften and rejuvenate them as marketed. My real fix was to order new o rings and install them myself.

No surprise there

I have tried inserting an old O-ring into this fluid, and for 3 days there has been no change. The only noticeable thing is that sedimentation has begun to appear in the fluid from the O-ring itself and that a dark mark has appeared in the place where it was. I then placed a new O-ring in another container with this fluid and it became slightly thicker over the same period of days.

Aren't u the emergency room guy who tells us funny e.r stories sarcastically

I don’t know I read that in certain places, depending on where the leak is coming from like if it’s coming from a gasket for a pipe, it may not fix it

If you’re hearing whining, it’s not from a leak. It’s from air in the system caused by the leak. Bleed the system BEFORE buying this. If the noise doesn’t go away, then fixing a small leak isn’t going to solve the problem. Just get a new pump and hoses. Wouldn’t be a bad time to replace the power steering oil cooler, power steering gearbox, and power steering pump and hoses if you have the money for it. The hardest part is removing the pump for most vehicles.

Not clear what bleeding means. If sterring pump is working, it's pumping fluing through all the time together with bubbles, meaning there is no bubbles

Can Lucas power steering stop leak be used for Honda vehicles? I was told by the ADV Auto parts manager that Honda's need special power steering fluid as they have different visocity levels?

How about the old oil inside of power stirring...

Does it work for power steering high pressure line hose leaks?

I think this is more for seal leaks rather than hose leaks

Starts the car, turns steering a little then says "Nice and smooth, better than ever before." Doesn't drive it, check for leaking etc. Thought it was a good video up to this point but lost all confidence in product or him now.

If I had a penny for every time you said "alright" LOL what about the results?

You only put the Lucas no need for the power steering fluid any more 🤔

@kelvinsgarage

Жыл бұрын

No need to add power steering fluid because the system below (pump, hoses, rack) already contains the original power steering fluid. Only the volume of the reservoir is filled with the Lucas.

@emanuelbalbin2566

And then what? Should we refill the reservoir with Lucas again or should we fill it with the regular power steering fluid

@kelvinsgarage

Жыл бұрын

The power steering system will use the Lucas in place of the power steering fluid. The Lucas is a power steering fluid with stop leak agents inside of it. If it doesn’t work and you lose enough fluid to warrant a refill then the leak needs a professional repair.

Great video tut..I am a woman who had to tell a man that the fluid must be drained before adding the lucas..guys nowadays are soo lazy 🙄lol

Would have been nice if you showed the leak before & after......didn't really teach or learn anything or this end.

Okay video, but basically useless. I'm looking for the answer does it work, not how to put it in. Thanks for posting it anyway, just took up 6 minutes of my time. When I could have been looking for something different.

With the title he should have shown if it actually did stop the leak, not just the steering turns and sounds better.

where is the actual leak coming from? this is a very unpromising "fix" this is more of a bandaid fix then anything

@kelvinsgarage

Жыл бұрын

This is an easy, additive based fix so there was no diagnosing the leak. From what I can tell, if the fluid level is not dropping (or dropping as fast) then it should be stopping the leak. Again, this is not a replacement for a physical repair and I am not sponsored by Lucas, just sharing some knowledge!

Hey man, sometimes a band-aid is what gets you to your next couple paychecks so you’re able to pay for an actual repair/replacement.
