Power steering fluid leak

[S DRIVER]

Hi everbody

This is probably for the more technically minded amongst our members,I own a 51 plate 4L V8 S TYPE which has developed a fluid leak from the power steering rack the leak is coming from the the drivers side end of the pipe that runs along the rack from one side to the other and is part of the actual rack and not the supply or return pipe from the pump I suspect a blown O ring,but unfortunately this is apparently not available as a spare part,has anyone had a similar problem or know of anyone that can supply these type of parts or supply reconn steering racks at a competative price....john

Thanks for that LBC I use eBay all the time for all sorts of things and never even considered it for car parts "silly me" looks like some good offers there and even one for a 4L v8 great stuff...john
