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.

Well, it turns out the PS is leaking. PS fluid fooled me with the black light. It "appears" as if it is dye but it is not. May be some PS fluid properties that makes it look like that with the black light.
Ok, I'll stop smoking that stuff..... LOL  Thanks for your time. This post has been edited by 5_Speed_95_Celica: Mar 11, 2013 - 8:53 AM |
