May I ask, is this reservoir the same size as the plastic one?

Now the never ending drama of the power steering leak. Ever since I got my first Jones Racing p/s pump it has leaked...so annoying!! I sent the first one back and when the new one came in I installed it and it still leaked! I talked to Chris Jones at Jones Racing Products and we found out why....it was all my fault.

Back side of the pump and reservoir.


Spring clips on top and bottom that hold on the reservoir.



Reservoir is off and I now see what Chris was talking about....




This is the o-ring that seals the reservoir to the pump. I was pulling on the reservoir when I was trying to tighten the belt. This was causing the o-ring to get pinched and ripped just slightly...but under high pressure it was leaking. Now I know...DOH!!!!


Thanks goes out to Chris Jones @ Jones Racing Products for puting up with me and steering me towards the light!!!!!
