Gd news today ppl (I say that with my fingers crossed!!), I believe that I have fixed my PAS. I had bought some new hydraulic fluid from the garage, put some in the PAS bottle, then started the engine up, then almost instantly after starting the engine, I could see where the leak was coming from.

There was a 19mm nut at the top of the steering rack, attached to one of the hydraulic fluid lines, which had come loose, so obviously I have tightened this nut up & so far, so gd.

But my main concern is how did the nut come loose in the first place, does this just occur from bumps in the road or is there a seal or something else between the nut and rack that may have broken?

If anyone knows that something is supposed to go in between the two aforementioned parts, then can they pls let me know, many thanks ppl!
