Thank you. A mechanic said it was my pump that was bad he wanted to charge me 450 to change my pump. Me knowing it was only an "O" ring cause I saw the small leak on the low pressure line. I purchase a universal O ring set of 13 pcs and a bottle of fluid $6 + $9 total spend $15 and 10 min to do. Thanks to your video I saved $435.
I'm so glad a came across this video! I've been dealing with this issue for a year and I thought it was just the pump because our mechanic just said drive it. We tried replacing both orings but the one with 2 bolts was too small and fluid starting spewing out so we put the original one back on. But this fixed the noise I was having on my 05. Thanks man!
This us exactly what my 1995 Honda Accord EX does and it's leaking on top where high pressure line connects to the power steering pump. There was are in the pump reservoir. So, I'm going to try replacing both to see if it resolves the problem.
I don’t know too much about cars, but I have a 2010 Honda Accord EX-L and my car sounds like this. Just started recently. But it’s loud and annoying lol. I keep hearing about an O ring. Just don’t know if I need to do it or my mechanic lol
I get this noise after driving and for 20mins, not on cold starts, after driving the fluid becomes aerated in reservoir, I'm hopping it's the o rings..
Does it matter what color the o rings are? Just seen some universal ones at autozone and they All comes in black since they dont sell the original honda ones.
I purchased the autozone universal set worked great, but the ring should be a SLIGHT smaller than the old one in the line so it fit snug on the connector.
@@tongo117: Do you have to let the car run with the lid off the reservoir while turning the wheels side to side to allow the air to escape? Or does the air escape the system somehow while operating normally?
I've changed out o-rings in this car twice now and neither time bled the system.. If a small amount of air did get in it must have worked its way out through normal driving.. Now, should I have bled the system each time? Probably yes.. Lots of videos showing how to do that which does involve turning the wheel completely left/right with the front wheels off the ground..
Jack up the front end and turn the wheel lock to lock with it off a few times then do it running. Only read up on it yesterday so may not be the best way but its something.
Im assuming the seals are the same for a 97 ? 94-97 accords 4cyl was basically all the same setups. If so im using the lonk in ur description to ordea them.
@@tongo117 I just picked it up at the dealer and it’s really small. It looks a lot larger in pictures. Am I right or is this wrong part. Like ring finger size
I changed both on my 98 civic and now I noticed I have bubbles in my reservoir....? I tried steering back and forth for like 20 min and still see bubbles..any suggestions
I've replaced my o-rings twice in the 18 years I've owned this car and had no leak either time.. But, I imagine a leak is possible.. What can also happen is that so much air leaks into the pump that the fluid in the reservoir bubbles up and overflows..

You are welcome.. Thanks for reply..
That Honda starting motor is so iconic. Thanks for the video.
Yes it is..
O rings for a civic is only $1.60 each at my Honda dealer. Just bought them today. Hope this solves my problem. Thanks for ur video
You're welcome.. Good Luck with yours..
Thank you for this video. This worked perfectly on my 2010 Accord.

You're welcome..
Are both o-rings the same part number? BTW, thanks for the video PB Man!
Ups I see it to the end, thanks!
Thank you bud great video
You are welcome.. Thanks for reply..
Great vid, cheers mate
Hope it helped.. Thanks for reply..
I get a sharp screech that lasts a second or two. Gunna try this and report back.

Did you get it fixed? I have same issue
Might sound dumb but you gotta drain everything right ? Or can you just go for it trying to fix my leak
Don't need to drain.. Only a small amount of fluid leaks out while you are changing the o-rings..
@@tongo117 🙏🏼
How do get to that bolt on suction side pain in the as can on a 2001 Honda accord ?
Are the low pressure lines in the same place on my 2001 Honda accord ?
Does it matter what color the o rings are? Just seen some universal ones at autozone and they All comes in black since they dont sell the original honda ones.
Color shouldn't matter as long as the new o rings are the same size..
I purchased the autozone universal set worked great, but the ring should be a SLIGHT smaller than the old one in the line so it fit snug on the connector.
other than noise, air leaking in can damage the car if not fixed?
I would think long term it could damage the power steering pump..
Does air have to be bled out of the system after replacing o-rings? Does air get pulled into the system when it is disconnected and opened up?
Some air likely gets in but that air should work its way out through the fluid reservoir.. aka a few bubbles in the reservoir..

yeah 5th generation accords ran from 94-97 so the o-rings in the link should fit..
@@tongo117 got em ordered, thank ya sir, we shall see
My kit came with one black and one green green is smaller which one does it go in ?
Compare the old vs new and match the sizes.. If you freeze the video at 4:22 it looks like the red (intake) o-ring is a little smaller..
@@tongo117 appreciate it
What if it’s a leak it could be a o ring to?
I have 07 accord v6. Power steering so loud when cold. Do I need black and red?
It's cheap and easy so may as well do both..
@@tongo117 I just picked it up at the dealer and it’s really small. It looks a lot larger in pictures. Am I right or is this wrong part. Like ring finger size
it is small like pinkie ring size..
@@tongo117 thansk. I was sure this was the wrong part.
Yo bro I’m haveing the same problem, and I got the same car. Did it work?
I have received o rings without part numbers on them.
One of them is bigger than the other, pleae help which one goes on which side?
I don't remember if one was bigger than the other.. You could take both old ones off at the same time and try to match them up with the new..
The top one is bigger
I got fluid coming out from under cap could it be these o-rings
Could be yes.. When air gets in the the system the fluid in the reservoir can foam up and overflow..
am going to try this can't hurt thx you
I changed both on my 98 civic and now I noticed I have bubbles in my reservoir....? I tried steering back and forth for like 20 min and still see bubbles..any suggestions
Did you have bubbles in the reservoir before changing the o-rings??
That's a good question ...that I did not notice...I should had ..
Does this cause loss of power steering fluid?
I've replaced my o-rings twice in the 18 years I've owned this car and had no leak either time.. But, I imagine a leak is possible.. What can also happen is that so much air leaks into the pump that the fluid in the reservoir bubbles up and overflows..
Do you know the plastic o ring sizes by any chance?
Sorry I do not..
What is the torque spec for this?
5 ft pounds
