Pete205 Posted February 28, 2023 Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 Today I got my Honda over a pit to see where the power steering fluid was raining from… hmm… not good news as the bottom high pressure pipe to the steering rack has a hole in it & so far I’ve been unable to find a replacement online. It was too late to call the Honda dealer so I’ll continue to search online this evening & call tomorrow. If anyone knows of where I might find such a thing I’d appreciate it. Meanwhile I’m crossing my fingers (except when I’m typing)…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators hughezee Posted February 28, 2023 Administrators Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 Hi and welcome back, sorry to hear of your troubles with the power steering and I am sure I might be able to assist with a replacement part. However, since you've never properly introduced yourself or your car is it a 2.0 or 3.0 V6 and could you confirm the accurate location of the leak? I only ask as they're are a few pipes and the lower sections are low pressure and the larger upper hose section is high pressure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founding Member PaulS Posted February 28, 2023 Founding Member Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 Might be worth approaching a local hydraulics specialist shop to see what they can offer. In Manchester I use Able Hydraulics, https://www.ablehydraulics.co.uk/ They can copy, make or mend most hydraulics stuff.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the pressure hose try RockAuto or HondaPartsNow.com 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi there apologies for not introducing myself properly I’m Pete I live in Sheffield & have a 1998 3litre v6 accord coupe with a corroded bottom pipe of the two that go to the steering rack. At the garage where the pit was the mechanic said it was a high pressure pipe which is why I’ve stated that in my previous post. I’m grateful for any help in this situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the diagram I’d say 16 is the most likely contender 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
