1992 940 est. 2.0L petrol, non turbo.
Oily drip under car and power steering fluid low.
There are two rigid metal pipes (like brake pipes) from near the centre of the body of the rack to a "box" where the flexible pipe "banjo" unions attach. The leak appears to be from one of the rigid pipes. Definitely not the "banjo" unions. I've not yet removed the engine undertray or the cover panel from the middle of the front crossmember but will be doing so to investigate further.
Main dealer advises that there are two pipes, one longer than the other. The longer one is available from Sweden but the shorter one is NLA. (part no. 1387465).
Does anyone know what material these pipes are made of and/or is it possible to have them made up similar to brake pipes.?
