My power steering is leaking and i can't really put a manual rack on the car because the wife drives the car sometimes. So i needed to know if i just replaced the washer under the nut would that stop the leaks or do i need to just buy the whole line? Does it mean my PS pump is on its way out to along with the alternator? Looks like its time for a new harmonic balancer to.

Thanks

You should replace the entire line. Replacing the washer may fix the problem but how old is that line? If you have never replaced it then it would be a good idea the swap it out with a fresh one.
 
Power steering fix - check out the final post in this thread; it'll explain what you need to do to stop the leak.

Harmonic balancer - yeah, looks like it'd be a good idea to replace it! :cool:
 
Thanks since then the oil cooler has started to leak. So i am doing the 90 swap.
