Thanks you Bill. I appreciate you sending me this video. Good information. Owning a V is not easy sometimes, but I love the car.

Thanks

The line appears to be “sweating” oil?

Thanks Mickytee. The front engine oik cooler line leak appears to be from the line itself, not the connection to the radiator. Are replacement lines available? I cant find any and dealers are useless. Not too sure what I would replace them with. Are there any specs for theses? Thanks Again...

Looking for some help. I saw a similar issue but I can’t find the thread to it. I have a 2008 XLRV with leaking fuel lines on the tank equalization lines. Can you get replacement lines? I can’t find any part numbers. I assume the tanks will need to be pulled to do this. No liquid gas leaking...

Did you try Rock Auto. I got the steering rack from them. I have a V. They probably have both. Good luck!!

I was able to get a power steering pump from one of the XLR net members, Mickeytee. I had no luck with Summit Racing through AC Delco. I also contacted Cadillac customer service with a request for them to ask ACDelco to make some of the pumps. No response from Cadillac except to say they are...

Sorry to hear you had the same problem as me. Michael was able to help me. I should have done that 8 weeks ago. Summit let me down. Don’t waste your time with summit / AcDelco. Just my advise. Good luck.

So to update this thread, I cannot find anyone who can rebuild the power steering pump. Part # 25897659. So it is ordered from Summit Racing for around $350.00 Canadian. Hope tghis helps others. Only concern is the delivery time is 6 weeks, but better than nothing . I cant drive the car...

Thanks everyone for your help. My best bet right now is to have it rebuilt so I can get back on the road.

Hi. Thanks for the response. it is definitely the power steering pump. I am in Ontario, Canada. I took the car to a dealership. They are unable to find a new one. They are currently looking to find a place locally to have it rebuilt. almost all the parts I have had to get are from the US. Thanks...

Thanks you so much for the contact information. I contacted them, and I cant get a new power steering pump, but they are saying it can be rebuilt. I really appreciate your help.

I have a 2008 XLR-V and the power steering unit has failed. Where can I get a replacement unit? Can they be rebuilt? My Canadian dealership is really of little help. Nothing available in Canada. Thanks for any help you can offer.

update to the above thread My problem was resolved With the replacement of the actuator, located in the trunk under the trunk latch. All works perfect now, except my wallet is somewhat lighter. Thanks to all for your help.

Thanks for the response. It could be the pump. I checked it and the compartment is dry. No sign of water. Hydraulic oil level is good. The trunk lifts about 6 inches, then immediately closes. If I do it several time, it does open, but then it won’t close. If I wait 10 -20 minutes and try to...
