Phil, have you tried the Lucas power steering leak fix stuff made in USA about 14 bucks at Super cheap, have used many times on some weird leaks like when it sits unused it nearly poured out. I think my L is half PS fluid half Lucas now
Being 93 would be the later pump - I only have for early pump.
Does your subie dealer still have the parts books to refer to ? Their parts are best and not so dear. And if you ask nicely may get a pic copy of diagram you need

Put a "cap" (not cup) full of brake fluid in the reservoir, this will make the seals swell and usually stops leaks for quite a while, drive the car for a while after/if you do it.

I second that - Ive done that in a few cars and it does help.d_generate wrote:Put a "cap" (not cup) full of brake fluid in the reservoir, this will make the seals swell and usually stops leaks for quite a while, drive the car for a while after/if you do it.
Normally its a cap of fluid from the bottle's lid, or same size cap as your engine oil cup - thats about enough for it, i've done two caps and doesn't hurt. As far I know it lasts for a while - as far I know a while as never did the seals on the power steering as it helped.
