Reseal a leaking pump instead of buying a whole new unit with the Sunsong power steering pump seal kit, part number 8401381. It is a direct-fit application for the 1998-2002 Honda Accord, 1999-2003 Acura TL, 1999-2004 Honda Odyssey, 2001-2003 Acura CL and 2001-2002 Acura MDX.
The power steering pump pressurizes fluid for the steering system, and its seals keep that fluid inside the pump. Signs the pump seals may need replacing include power steering fluid seeping or dripping around the pump, a reservoir level that keeps dropping, and pump whine linked to low fluid. Diagnose the leak source before you replace anything, because hoses, lines and fittings can also leak. If you are shopping for a Honda Accord power steering pump rebuild kit, this kit is listed for the 1998-2002 model years. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
