Massive support from you dip ****. I did "plug" the hole with duck tape and nothing is leaking. It was tiny, maybe a niddle width.

Thank you this is all i needed to hear! Idk why no one else could of just said this. I dident know if i had to remove the bolt on the PS pump to get the hose out or if i had to pull it out somehow.

 

Check if there's still enough fluid in the P/S reservoir.

 

Well then, no need to change the line. Obviously you do everything on your car half a$$ed, from not putting bolts to covers back on to "plugging" a hole with duct tape.

Good luck to you.

 

I dident use duck tape lol, well sorta. It is leaking a tiny bit, nothing major but im going to stop driving it until i get the new hose. I used RVT blue, a hose that i put over the hole and then clamps to hold it down. Guess the RVT broke down after awhile. I ordered the part a day after this thread so it should be coming in soon. Just want to know how easy/hard it is to change. I only got a little husky wrench and some bolts, only tools i got.

 

Since powersteering and brake fluids serve kinda similar hydrolic purposes, it wouldn't surprise me if PS fluid eats stuff like brake fluid

 

Yea that why i think it got past the RTV, but it cant damage belts. Only real thing is that it is a pain to clean up.

 

It can't damage belts? Is that a guess or a fact?

 

You'll find out soon enough...

You do not want any type of fluids on the timing belt.... There is a reason why its completely covered up

 

i know that , anyway fluid was on the belts for a max of 4 hours. Back to my question, can this be easily done with a small husky wrench and some sockets?
*edit*and skinny long arms

 

Any hydraulic fluid is very very bad for the timing or any rubber belts for that matter.
Hydraulic fluid makes the rubber grow, thus your timing belt will eventually slip.

Doesn't matter the amount of time. 10-20 minutes is enough to say get a new belt now or an entire engine later.

I still don't understand why you don't call me when these things happen to you?
You have my cell number.

Good Luck with the repair.

 

cuz i lost you number and i really dont like to bother you for these simple things lol.

 

PS fluid swells rubber, eventually the belt will deteriorate. If you don't listen to these people on here, your next thread will be how do I replace this engine . .? No sarcasm, no insult, just the truth.

 

I feel the need to add this little fact...

Power steering fluid is also flammable.
Not like gasoline, it takes some serious heat to ignite.

That **** hits the hot side of the turbo, or builds up on the exhaust and you're are screwed.

 

oh yes i know that lol.

I know but i cleaned it up already, so nothing i can really do not but see if anything happens. Alot of people just came out say "Oh you got no skills gl with anything." Yea im not the greatest working on cars but i try my best.

 

You didn't really read most of these user's posts did you. Nor did you read much of mine. You cant use wipe it up and its fine, it already did its dirty work, you cant take the fluid that has seeped into the belt out. You must replace the belt or replace the engine. Cleaning it up just doesn't cut it, and having the attitude that you cant do anything more when all you need to do is replace the timing belt. A timing belt is $75 plus labor, you would rather take the chance(which I would say is well over 75%) of your engine failing due to this?
