Hi, was wondering if anyone knows of a online site that sells a rebuild kit for a power steering pump on a 1983 240 D. If no kit is available, I may buy a good used one if anyone is parting a car out. Thanks.
Take it out and have the shop rebuild it for about $95. There is a metal washer that's a killer to take out and put it back in yourself. I gave up and had the shop do it.

What's wrong with yours? I've always thought those pumps were built to outlast the car.

FYI, there's also a front seal on the shaft behind the pulley. That is the one that is likely leaking.
In my opinion, buying a rebuilt power steering pump from a reputable supplier is the way to go. Rebuilding your own is tedious and it may still leak or you may not assemble it properly.
Some things, like power steering pumps, and steering boxes are not worth rebuilding by yourself, IMHO.
