Two leaks?! Help!! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

So I noticed I had two leaks yesterday. One is power steering fluid, the other is water. I'm sure I can look around and find out where the ps leak is coming from by checking hoses and stuff, and I have stop leak.. But the other leak is under the passenger side right around the firewall. Clear liquid with no smell. Seems like water . I took pics and am gonna post them, if anyone could let me know what this is, I'd much appreciate it!!

Looks to be leaking out of that little black female plug looking thing.

Here's ps leak

Couldn't tell where this is is from. Read my belt might be too tight, I changed belts last week.

The first one is extremely common and all s13s have leaky p/s lines..you can get replacement lines that are braided and what not..the second is the drain for your a/c system and is normal.its actually supposed to do that

Good to know that it's supposed to do that. I found the ps pump leak. It was the hose going from reservoir to the pump. The clamp had lost a washer and was loose. I'm gonna pick up another better clamp tomorrow and hope it works out. This is an s14 btw. Stock ka

Leaky power steering is a sign you own a 240sx. I always joke and say that if I go to look at a 240, and there is no PS leak, then something is wrong...

My rack and pinion has been leaking for 2 years.... Still haven't fixed it.

That's on the "to do list", next.
