I have a 2007 Mazda 3i 2.0, I am putting the engine out of my 2006 Mazda 3i 2.0, and replacing anything I question. I just installed a new rack and pinion and hooked the. Lines back up and it looks as though the pump and reservoir housing is leaking. I tried snuggling up the bolts but it still seeps, I couldn't find a seal kit online and a replacement is $800.00 for pump etc, and my 2006 Mazda 3 power steering, excuse me my wife's lovely nightmare, that pump leaked everywhere, even inside the electrical connections were full of fluid.
Is there a seal kit or another rite to fix the leaks rather then replacing? The picture I have posted shows a little fluid by black bolts and bracket, however I just wiped it down clean and dry and zero fluid outside and now within 10 minutes.

Good morning,

I found a pump for around $300.00 for you. I attached it below.

I did not find a rebuild kit for this anywhere. I would replace it.

Transects seals actually makes the rebuild kit, most decent parts use there seals and it wasn’t a thought until I saw it on YouTube. I’ve called everywhere in Oregon about and online and to no prevail, all they have is re-manufactured or new. But the kit for 2006- 2008 I believe the kit is a 8764 rebuild kit, it’s around $140.00. It’s not a everyone at home can do, but that's on the person, it can be done, mines ordered.
