Yes I agree. Discretion is the better part of valour. In any situation a thorough inspection is required, especially with older vehicles where material degradation is possible, even likely. Sometimes you can get lucky however and small solutions do not need to be overlooked. Steve

Does anyone know what leaks here and how to fix it? Is it possible to replace the weird VW part rubber/part metal hoses with some standard parts that wont cost an arm and a leg. I could not find anything on the Bus Depot website since they don't have a power steering parts category, I need to get this fixed as quickly as possible. > > > David (1987 Wolfsburg)
