When it rains it pours....
Noticed a slight squeal saturday while driving to work, only at idle and just off idle. Sounded like the belt slipping. I was thinking maybe it was just the PS fluid low.
Got to work and immediately notice I have a cracked belt tensioner, and now the power steering pump isn't working either. Not sure if it is related to the tensioner being cracked or not. I tightened it back up and the fluid boils in the reservoir. I did replace the PS fluid with synthetic last fall. It suddenly has a nasty leak coming from the pump too
As an added bonus, on my way home the powermaster died on me. Fortunately I was only doing about 35, when it went out. Looking to convert over to the hydroboost setup. Much cheaper alternative to $500-600 to replace everything.
Help me out here guys.
