Power steering fluid leak 200 1991

posted by  someone claiming to be Alex on  Thu Jul 14 18:02 CST 2022 [RELATED]

Hello everyone, I'm the new owner of a 1991 Volvo 240. I've wanted one of these cars for a long time after lurking these forums (and other places on the internet) and seeing how much people love them. I'm also trying to learn about car repair, but I'm very much a beginner at the moment.

I'm posting because my 240 seems to have a very slow power steering leak, that I believe is coming from the reservoir cap or the reservoir itself. I've been checking the car after driving it and sometimes there will be fluid on top of the reservoir (around the cap) and some on the back side of the reservoir.

It seems like maybe I need to replace the whole reservoir, but I'm having trouble because I've found a couple types of power steering pumps in these cars. The first link is a reservoir IPD sells, but mine is the kind mentioned in the second link (which I believe means I have the integral reservoir type of pump). Does this mean I need to buy a new pump, and if so does anyone know where to find them? I've searched online and can't find this type on IPD or FCPEuro (which are the two main places I know to look for 240 parts)

Thanks in advance for the help!
