Hello,

I have just converted my vectra a 2000 4x4 to 2 wd and I have got a problem with power steering fluid leaking from the top. I plugged the hole with a bolt after removing the transfer box, but it didnt seem to work this way.

I need help figuring this out

Where exactly is the leak coming from? Can't see anything obvious in the photo that you linked. Could be a bad gasket or washer letting oil through?

I am sorry to say that I cannot see anything that would help me answer from that photo.

I am not sure why removing the transfer box would affect the power steering.
Unless you caught the pipework whilst dropping the box out.

If you have plugged a hole with a bolt, then did you use the correct size bolt?
These are not metric threads, but instead imperial pipe threads, so you may have a crossed thread or simply the wrong diameter, pitch or thread profile.

Also - use a copper washer (not brass), and if necessary use ptfe tape wrapped around the bolt thread.

It is leaking from the reservoir, the image I posted was where the transfer box was connected to and that is where I plugged it with a bolt

From the reservoir? That's a strange one. Check the thread on the reservoir cap for any signs of cracks or splits. Could need a replacement cap. Or is it leaking from one of the pipe outlets?

I believe its under high pressure? As where the transferbox was piped into I just bolted that hole. There is no cracks on the cap.

I don't quite understand this, are you able to take a photo or two of the power steering reservoir? And is it 100% power steering fluid?
