  • Oil leak?

    Posted by Art on February 22, 2025 at 10:12 am

    I have had a greasy mess in this area under power steering pump, when I 1st bought bus the power steering reservoir hose at bottom I replaced with a new hose from a hydraulic shop and the fitting was strange so put a barb fitting in it’s place, no leak. 6 years latter it has been getting greasy under pump and it was dripping under that, clamp took about a full turn and a half, cleaned up the mess and I will keep an eye on it. Here is a picture see anything wrong? Did I use correct hose???

    My power steering pump was leaking from the case halves, I just replaced mine along with my compressor. Pretty easy job on my bus.

      Hey Mike Is there a gasket that it could leak from where it bolts to Detroit? Look at picture, How could you see where yours was leaking from??

    Yes, there is a thin gasket. The new pump came with the gasket and a small tube of sealant to put on both sides at assy. I also replaced the fiber drive coupler.

      What is the fiber drive coupler? At pump almost looks like a small O-Ring goes there and gasket, some one used a small amount of blue silicone look at picture

    I am not sure what you are asking, my engine and power steering pump are completely different than your Series 60.
