Problem getting power steering return hose (Ontario)
I finally got around to figuring out what was causing my power steering leak. It's teh low pressure return line. It had been a slow leak, but became much worse as the mechanic was trying to diagnose the issue, so now the car can't really be driven much because of the amount of fluid that leaks. They don't have the line part # 53720-S3M-A00 available here and it seems like it's on backorder and will take about 10 days to get in. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or may know of anyplaces in the GTA or around K-W that might have it so that I can fix it sooner rather than later (luckily wife is on mat leave, so I can use her vehicle, but would rather there be a vehicle at home for her and kids in case of emergency!). Or are there any other suggestions on fixing the line. BTW, I'm in the K-W area and dealership here said it would be at least 7-10days to get it in.
Thanks

Late reply, but it ended up that Mufflerman was able to fab the part for me. Cost more than the actual part, but since they were installing it anyways for me it was fine. It was cheaper than continuing to top up the power steering fluid every few days while waiting for the backorder to resolve. And it would be better for the environment as well because I don't image the fluid would be very environmentally friendly!
