Air keeps getting into my power steering system new rack , pump and high pressure line don't see any leaks any where. I purge it several times works for a few minutes then start making noise again what else to be done.
My pilot has not noise or leak on the PS. Honestly I did not expect for this air leaking issue (if that's the case) as my 2014 pilot is really not so old. I tried a bit over the weekend but could not reach that bolt under the inlet hose. I need a small enough wrench for that. What kind of wrench did you use? Thanks.Hello, I replaced both PS O-rings and stopped my air leak and loud noises. That little bolt under the inlet plastic hose connector is a PIA. I ground down a cheap box wrench to give a little more travel each stroke .

I’m not sure what model the diagram link you posted refers to, but as you can see above, it doesn’t break down the PS pump. So maybe that’s why the culprit o-ring isn’t shown in this diagram.looking at this I am not seeing a return line o-ring on the pump, only a pressure side o-ring

I'm pretty sure only the 1st gen Pilots PS pump had the inlet & outlet pump o-rings.

The 06-08 front wheel drive Pilots have the J35Z1 equipped with VCM@Huluobo apologies if you are aware of this, but this forum is for the '03-'08 Pilots, and you have an '09 or younger Pilot (based on the fact that you installed a VCMuzzler, which is N/A for the '03-'08.

Hi pressure side would squirt out fluid, not suck in air. Don’t you think the same?Just to pile on to existing advice: frothy, milkshakey, air bubbly PS fluid is evidence of air entering the system. The most likely culprit is the high-pressure side O-ring. Start by replacing the fluid, the O-rings, and making sure you have the right fluid level.
