Lucas Oil 10008 Power Steering Stop Leak, 355 ml, Beige089

I always think these things are more marketing gimmicks. Promising this and that and never delivering. I had a power steering pump leak, with very heavy steering and a squeak, was about to just change the pump but thought I would try this first to avoid that headache. One bottle in the reservoir, turning the wheel left to right while I did it and I couldn't believe the results. Leak gone, squeak gone and power steering now like butter! Lucas really meant it when they said Guaranteed!! Highly recommended to anyone who is having issues before shelling out for costs towards a new power steering pump, for around £10 definitely try this first.

Does exactly as described, working on a 30 year old Volvo with a leaky steering rack. Bought the larger bottle as not sure how much I would need, but only needed around 200ml in the end as it fixed the issue on the first fill - I now have it stock for the next car.

Purchased as a stop gap to keep my car going when a power steering leak occurred. The steering had developed a whine when on full lock. Used the Stop Leak and the whine pretty much disappeared. I sold the car shortly afterwards so can't say if it eliminated the leak for certain. The treatment is very thick in consistency and I used the entire bottle. Not sure how well it went through the entire system as the reservoir did not drop in the weeks after treatment.

I’m giving this 5 stars because the stuff did save me having to rip out a steering rack and find where it was leaking from. My power steering went from lasting a day and a half before being empty to lasting a week. One more bottle of this stuff later and it has stopped leaking. They’re in mind some people that have reviewed this product probably have a leak that is bigger than a pin hole or could be something that’s detached in which case this won’t work.

Fantastic, stopped my the leak and it has been weeks! It did take a while to fully work so give it some time for the squeaking/leak to stop. Would definitely recommend.

My power steering is still leaking

I’ve heard a lot of people swear by this power steering locking fluid, so I thought I’d give it a go on my Land Rover’s leaky system. Well, the fluid might work wonders for smaller leaks, but it didn’t exactly work magic on my Land Rover. It’s like trying to convince a stubborn mule to dance—doesn’t matter how good the product is, if your Land Rover's in a mood, it’s not having it. The leak? Still there. The steering? Still making those “I’m about to break down” noises. Guess my Land Rover isn’t quite ready for the “miracle cure” just yet. Still, if your car's just being a little dramatic and not fully broken down, it might be worth a shot!

My Honda Civic hatchback, 1996 with 160K miles on the clock has been 'groaning' progressively more loudly for the past three months or so, finally getting to an excessively loud point were it was obvious that something was seriously wrong. I took the car to Honda, who told me that it needed a new Power Steering Pump - cost £730 (incl. VAT) + about another 250 (incl VAT) for fitting. - Nearly £1,000 (which is more than the car is worth, lovely as she is to drive)!!! Having checked the problem out on the internet, I found this product and read the reviews on it - At £9.00 or so for a bottle, it HAD to be worth a try. Using a turkey baster I drained the power steering fluid reservoir to the bottom, then replaced it with the Lucas stuff, which was almost exactly the same amount. Turning the engine on, I turned the wheel full lock to the right, which resulted in a loud grating sound. Then I turned it to the left and it was much, much, less. Back to the right again, then left again - Nothing. Quiet as a mouse. The (one finger) turning is now as good as it was when I first bought the car. I have been out and about testing it on tight corners, reverse parking, etc. and I really cannot BELIEVE that this Lucas fluid has sorted the problem so easily - AND so cheaply!!! I would highly recommend it to anyone, anytime. Really....It works!!!
