I have searched the internet on this issue with no luck.
My 94 Celica has an oil leak. I used UV Dye in the engine to pinpoint the leak. With the black light I saw Oil leaking from around the PS pump. I looked in the PS reservoir and it was full of the UV Dye.... Huh? How is this possible? Oil is leaking into PS, from where? It is a pretty good leak and not sure if I need to replace PS pump or use Lucas PS Leak stop. Any help on this will be appreciated.

I have owned it for over 11 years 344k miles on it.
I am with you on separate systems. It is the first time I have ever used dye on this car. The leak looks like oil mixed with PS fluid. More like oil cause it is at least a Qt a week. That is why I though it was an engine leak not a PS leak. Ill look under timing cover, my initial suspect. But no lie, with car running, I did see the dye seeping out of PS |
