Why It Matters
A leaking reservoir isn't just a mess; it allows air into the power steering system, leading to that dreaded "shudder" in the steering wheel and a whining pump. If you see fluid pooling around your driver-side wheel well or on top of the frame rail, your reservoir is likely the culprit. Replacing it is a simple DIY job that preserves your power steering pump and keeps your Vette’s steering feeling sharp.
Tech Tip: While you have the system open, it is the perfect time to replace your Reservoir-to-Pump hose (Item 564362). Old hoses often become hard and fail to seal properly against new plastic inlets, leading to fresh leaks.
