SS PS line leaked after installed? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Ok, before the install I had no problem of any leaks.

Now after I installed the new ss ps line noticed that it was leaking after a short drive or if the engine was on.

After searching I just found out that our 240 uses ATF dexrom II or higher, now I went and looked at the fluid that I used after the new ss ps line was installed it was a bottle of valvoline syn. ps fluid and on the back of it it said not recommended for hondas. I'm assumming its not for nissans either since there both imports.

Did I damaged my rack and pinion for using the wrong fluid?

Could that have caused my leak?

If I flush the system and put the right stuff in would it fix my leaka?

Sorry for the long post.
