SirSam Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Hey everyone, I thought I would ask to see if anyone else has had this issue before. I installed a new PS Pump & Alternator 11 months ago, & I look under my hood last month & there is PS ATF fluid all over the underskirt. I cleaned all of the area up, the hoses, fittings, etc. Ran it for another 2 days & took a look at it again to see if i can find a leak anywhere & there was fluid on the underskirt again (a puddle). But the lines were pretty clean/dry. So I was stomped I did a thorough search & on the pump towards the left back of it was a small line of fluid coming out of the pump. Which looks like it is running down on top of the Alternator & splashing on the sidewall onto the underskirt. Now i am 90% certain it is the pump, but is it common for it to have gone bad already? I bought it from Advance Auto Parts & it seemed to be a good pump. If I were to buy a new one are there any recommendations from anyone that will have the quality to last as long as a PS pump should? I need to get this fixed quick before it ruins my Alternator again. Thanks for any help anyone can give me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92Lex Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 There should be some type of existing manufacture/Advanced Auto warranty for the pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
