I added about 4oz of 90 W Gear Oil to the steering rack in Bugsy as I discovered the uninstalled rack had leaked a 6-10” oil slick on the garage floor. Oil was added by removing the grease nipple and pumping in Gear Oil from a pump hand oiler until rack was full. I now find that the installed rack is leaking 90 W gear oil at the bottom on the rack where the cover to the pinion gear is. Tightened both bolts but slow leak continues. I know about Corn Head Grease and it’s 0 W lubricating properties.
So before I take Bugsy off of jack stands, got any recommendations for draining remaining oil from rack and repacking with Corn Head Grease. Not sure if there is a gasket at the bottom of the pinion gear and whether this might be another place to try HondaBond FIPG Sealer. TIA for help.
