Guest tbutera2112 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 saw some oil under the car...looks like oil, etc...trying to find the leak, i started to trace it up the engine, and i dont know if its spraying out of a hose or something or what....it looks like its coming out of the power steering reservoir...i thought power steering fluid was redish, this stuff looks like engine oil...inside the reservoir too....whats going on??

Guest tbutera2112 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i82/SaleenSS90/CIMG1306.jpg http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i82/SaleenSS90/CIMG1317.jpg http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i82/SaleenSS90/CIMG1315.jpg http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i82/SaleenSS90/CIMG1314.jpg maybe thats how the power steering fluid looks on this car? or did someone maybe fill the PS reservoir with oil? how do i flush it and stop it from leaking? or is it not even coming out of there? the engine oil is on the full line just like it was the other day...so i dont think the actual engine is leaking, i think its right there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tbutera2112 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 looking at a saab forum its saying that the seal inside the power steering pump goes out and lets engine oil in and it spills out of the reservoir.... does this seem right to you guys?

John Bruh Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 i would wipe the oil down from everywhere. start the car back up and look for the leak or and residue on the motor afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tbutera2112 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 also, this looks like i can just bolt it off and bolt it back on?? is there anything actually involved in chaninging it http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v350/Woody91GSX/Saab/Untitled-3.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tbutera2112 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I would take it straight back to the dealer and ask WTF. bought it private party, and the guy wont give me any money back since he already chopped the price $900 from what he was asking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tbutera2112 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 and the leak just started today...the puddle under the car is pretty significant, and theres no other puddles from the other couple days ive had it and on the saab forums, i guess this is very common....my fuckin luck, its not even that its expensive to replace, or hard...just sucks when you dont have any money to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Threaten him with a lawsuit. That might make him change his mind. Even though I dont think you have any legal recourse. Run it to Robs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Removed Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 tyler you offer sucks...just cause AZ shows it online, doesnt mean they stock the part ..of course i get it cheaper , but the only one i can find is in stock at saab for 326.40 my price. all the aftermarket places are on national back order on the thing. and this is a common problem with these cars..i told you to stay the fuck away from a saab. one of these days you'll learn to listen to me. and just got of the phone with someone that just called back about one, i can have one in 3 days @ 175 thats with shipping and every thing, but you get 50 of that back once they get the core...

Farkas Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 My buddy called Saab about a A/C blender door for his Saab 9-5 and they told him he could get it in 3 days from europe, but it was just shy of $3,000 for the part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
