Help! Power steering
First of all, hey everyone I’m new.
Secondly, today I woke up and my e550 was sitting on the ground, so I drove my German spec 1978 450sl to the shop. On the way, my power steering was making a noise, I hadn’t driven her in a couple of days. I open the hood and the entire pump is coated in fluid. It’s leaking from the black( finger bolt?) nut on top of the cover from the weep holes. What exactly do I do? I dumped psf in there just to get it back to my garage. Did I over fill it? Is the filter clogged and that’s what’s making it push out? I’m really praying I don’t have to replace it, I just got quoted 2k for a suspension and now this in the span of three hours.
