Power steering pump leaking (V6)
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to stop the power steering pump leaking,other than replacing it with a new one ?......turns out that this is what actually killed my alternator (see my other recent post in Techie).
Been an expensive week so far, and I am not out of the woods yet
