After driving a number of stretches of roads in Lithuania undergoing repairs i've noticed my power steering is seeping when on full lock. Still working ok....at the moment, but as i'm heading to Poland i plan/prefer to get it checked out there.
Hoping it's just seals but just in case....does anyone know if the pumps are "handed" or not? Van is 2000 reg Mk5 2.5tdi and i know Transit spares are plentiful in Poland.
