I posted about the LHM leak on my Xantia a while ago and it has been identified as the pinion valve seals, was wondering if there's an easy way to do it???!!!
It's left hand 1.8 SX.
Thanks

Re: Time to fix the leaks.
Nope, a very difficult job to do and one best left to the professionals such as Pleiades...

Re: Time to fix the leaks.
there are people on here who have replaced the steering pinion in situe, your car being LHD i would think makes the job easier as there is a lot more space behind the gear box, as opposed to doing the job on a RHD car down the back of the engine,

Re: Time to fix the leaks.
I've no idea I'm afraid REF. It's a good hour to get the pinion valve out but how long to overhaul it I really cannot say. I believe John (jgra1) has overhauled a pinion valve and perhaps he can give you more of an idea of how long and how tricky...
