Can't help you with that one Mark - have you tried calling Malaga Suspension ?
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

Thanks Blacky,

I cant believe my steering rack started to leak oil yesterday, hopefully I can get it sorted before April 13. I guess its a pretty standard fix and most steering repairers will be able to do the job.

Thanks again,

Mark

Hi Marko
Try Bailets in Myaree 9317 3636 I had a similar problem with my manual rack for my FC Sedan it had been sitting around for so long that one seal started to leak and the boots had perished I took it to these guys and they did a great job but not cheap.

Thanks Niel,

I have actually discovered that while changing the oil pump on the 308 we had the rack end boot loose and pulled back and oil made its way into the boot from the engine.

each time I took it for a test drive a little oil would leak from the boot and pool on the ground. I have since cleaned the inside of the boot and rack and haven't seen any oil - took it for a 30k test drive yesterday afternoon and all is sweet.

I think I am just paranoid about oil leaks and always think the worst :econfused:

Thanks for everyone's suggestions,
