    I have a 96 cab and have found a leak to be coming from the seals of the power steering rack. If the leak continues the brake light in the dash flashes. I have had the gaiter replaced but this obviously didnt fix it and it seems that the seals have to be replaced (v expensive so my garage tells me as its v fiddly) I have been through over 5 bottles of fluid the recommended g00200 stuff and tried 'stop leak' fluid a few times but no joy.

    Anyone come across this before or have any advice before I go and hemorrhage money at the garage?

    you will have to fit a new rack
    you will need to flush the system as well to get rid of the residue of stop leak etc

    Hi All Newby here. (1998 Audi Cabriolet) I have a similar problem nothing to do with rack or gaitors it is where the steering column joins the brake master cylinder that I have got the leak but it appears to be a small hole underneath power steering part that attaches brake master cylinder but cant see no way of sealing it can it be to back pressure as I have had a new power steering pump fitted. could there be an air lock or something that is causing this problem as it hasnt happened before? All help apprecited...

    Paul.
