    Defender Steering Box Leaks!.

    Hi All, My 96 Deefer has had a weeping steering box seal for about six years, I was warned years ago to fix it or expect trouble!, But ignored that and its never got any better,thats for sure , but its no worse either, Just have to put a dribble in the reservor now and then.Bit like a few other things on the old girl, I'm convinced Landys have a soul , all you have to do is learn how to hold you breath for a while


    Cheers Sumo.

    Yep, mines been weeping from the output shaft seal for years, and it's really only a smudge but over the last twelve months it looks like an O ring behind the worm adjuster nut of all places has let go, fluid is going everywhere now.

    How on earth would that O ring go ? unless it's just got hard with age ??

    One day I might drop the box and use the steering box seal kit I bought a few years back
