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

Over the past few months I have been noticing a oil patch on my drive, it started small but got to the point of it being massive! I took the car to the garage for a checkup, they advised the power steering hose was leaking and also was the seals, they advise a replacement would be close to £300!!! Decided to buy this and give it a shot. Well well well as soon as I put it in the power steering went from being soft to super soft, previously needing 1 hand to steer but now just need 1 finger. Excellent. This also worked fantastic to stop the leak and almost instantly! Would recommend before you spend hundreds on repairs...

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.

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.

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.

Good

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!

Seriously pay attention of what i'm going to mention here!! First thing first for those who are unaware of, this oil is thick actually very thick therefore it won't flow down at ease just like a ordinary one. You're going to be fine if you are just topping up, that being said if there is enough in the tank though!! As for me i emptied the top up tank and as a result, poor it down and check the level all seems to be okay at first but then after starting the engine up heard a loud whirring noise from the engine and thought something gone wrong somewhere but essentially after immense speculation found out that the noise was coming right from the power steering pump itself due to lack of fluid!! Opened the cap and check it out fluid was nowhere!! Anyhow top it up for the 2nd time and start it up again and guess what?! Noise is still present!! Got me worried if it was too late and might have end up damage the pump in the process!! So once again for the 3rd time top it up however this time i left the engine on as it might help with better circulation through the system. However, as it turn out i filled it up and actually i went above the requiring measuring level just to be on the safe side and leave it running for a short while see what is what. Ultimately the whirring noise came down a lot better compare to the first time but somehow i wasn't fully satisfied so went for another look if the level drop down or instead some of it needed to remove this time for a change cos remember i overfilled it on purpose so. Oof.. annoyingly enough the level dropped for a 4th time!! Not even close to the required level again!! So obviously went to fill it up all over, AGAIN!! To summit this awful experience, i will honestly say essentially lost count of how many miserable times i have topped it up!!! Mind you i'm expecting some more topping up for tomorrow due to the way its been going so far, evidently!!! Besides still a bit of whirring noise going on which causing a bit of concern hence i'm trying to warn you guys asap!!!!!!!!!!! Like i said if you are just topping up while fluid is still present in the top up tank of the power steering pump then you are going to be absolutely fine. However, forget about emptying the whole system cos by just emptying the tank on its own will cause you this problem i'm having without any doubt!! IMPORTANT notes: For your own sake please make sure after topping up you MUST turn the steering wheel to fully left and right while the car is OFF (ignition on which allows you to turn the wheel). Afterward it might need some more top up and if not then you can safely start the car however keep an eyes on the fluid level cos like i mentioned above it is really really thick hence takes time to pass through. Good Luck.

My power steering is still leaking

worked well on my BMW X5 V8. Fixed a small Power Steering fluid leak.

nach dem nach und nach einfüllen von bisher ca. 3/4 liter ist die lenkung nach wie vor nicht dicht. der beschreibung nach soll man dann, wenns mit dem inhalt einer flasche nicht klappt, noch eine 2. einfüllen. geldschneiderei ?

Brilliant Stuff, I emptied the Power steering oil from reservoir and filled 100-120ml of this oil in it, turned the steering few times lock to lock and within few minutes, the steering got light and no noises during slow speed turns. I had heavy steering, and a minor leak as well, this oil resolved heavy steering and minor leak issues. Highly recommend this oil for any car, since power steering repairs involving racks, pinions, ball joints etc can be very costly. Hope the effect stays for next few years!!!

I used the Lucas Oil Power Steering Stop Leak when a steering pump in an older vehicle was starting to weep, and it helped me get more miles out of it. It definitely reduced the leaks and gave the system a bit more life before I had to go ahead with a proper replacement. Full disclosure I’m generally not a fan of additives as a long‑term fix because they don’t actually repair worn parts and can only slow down deterioration. With that said, in this case it did what it claimed in the short term: it quieted down some noise, reduced the amount of fluid loss, and let me postpone a new pump for a while. If you’re just trying to buy time before a service or overhaul, this does help slow minor leaks and make the system quieter. Just don’t think of it as a permanent fix, plan to replace the failing components when you can. Pros • Reduces minor leaks • Can quiet noisy steering pumps • Helps extend the life of a marginal system Cons • Not a cure. Only a temporary measure • Not something I’d rely on long term Overall, this additive did exactly what I needed for the moment, but real repairs will always be the lasting solution.

Great value for the larger size vs the retail store 300ml bottles. You’ll always need more, when there is a steady leak.
