Hello GMT Nation!!
Been searching the interweb pretty extensively but keep coming up with no real answer. Seems you cats are the best group that actually gets their vehicle repairs/questions answered so I'mma see if I can get the correct response.
**This for a 2002 Trailblazer EXT LT**
1st of all, my power steering pump pulley snapped off last week (knew I had a leak but I can live without power steering) & I purchased one from a salvage the next day. Fill 'er up with fluid & realize it was coming right back out. Check my steering gear and see its the culprit. Go get one from the salvage & since it's raining decided to clean it up and inspect. While wiping it down, notice this seal is probably no bueno. So my questions are:
1) what would you call this seal/o ring?(and which is it lol)
2) are these pressure cracks or just from casting?
Appreciate any and all information I get back. Thanks for reading & look forward to hearing back from the GMT Nation!!!
