Oil Leak Check

1. If leak point is other than a, b, c, or d, perform the 5th step in "OIL LEAK CHECK PROCEDURE AND REPLACEMENT PARTS" before dismounting gearbox from vehicle. If gearbox is dismounted without confirming where the leak is, it must be mounted again to locate the leak point.
2. Even if the location of the leak can be easily found by observing the leaking condition, it is necessary to thoroughly remove the oil from the suspected portion and turn the steering wheel from lock to lock about 30 to 40 times with engine running, then make comparison of the suspected portion between immediately after and several hours after this operation.
3. Before starting oil leak repair work, be sure to clean the gearbox, hoses, pipes, and surrounding parts. After completing repair work, clean these areas again.
