Hmmmm… would that be because I could screw up the vanes? Or new seal doesn’t work and loose much more fluid rapidly?
Help me out here
Thanks

Big boyz here have to help us both out on this one - I was just kind of spit-balling here.

Researching Power Steering Pumps (OEM). Sure is tempting to be the Forum Guinea Pig and just buy a seal kit since it functions fine- just leaks a little. Guess the worst that could happen is I wasted valuable fishing time, $40 and ultimately had to buy whole pump since new seals didn’t work?

Ya know, AT-205 also works on power steering system leaks. Just sayin', ol' buddy.

If you deem me too untrustworthy, take it from Tim. I feel I could buy a used car from him.

In my research I did see Scotty promote AT-205 for power steering leaks. After just watching ETCG, I am NOT going to attempt replacing the seals. Also, somebody on this forum brought up how precise the parts go together and is better to just replace pump. Looking back, when I lost some fluid replacing the inlet oring a year or so ago- I’m pretty sure I just used some power steering fluid from Advance. BAD MOVE and probably the reason I’m having this issue 😡. Boyz n Gurls- USE HONDA FLUID!! 😉
Thanks again!

Bought some AT-205 for power steering pump leak. Dumping in tomorrow

Had faith in Humanity restored! Got frantic call from my son doing his deliveries that there was smoke coming from the engine compartment and reddish brown fluid on the ground and some sort of explosion in the engine compartment. I told him to pull over on residential street and shut down right away. He was nervous! I showed up - overflow tank full and blue; no smoking from radiator; engine oil on level and right color - no CMOD; trans fluid all over ground and engine compartment and dipstick basically dry but no SMOD. Trans fluid was basically draining from bottom of radiator. So I am hoping it is just a hose that blew forcefully or maybe just the radiator - it’s a 5 year old Denso.

Too far from from home to drive with that leak and the trans bone dry. AAA was going to take 159 minutes! “159 minutes” - really?!?!? AAA approved shop was 1/10 mile away. Two Black guys in a neighborhood close to home where both he and I have gotten pulled over a number of times for interesting reasons. So, we decided to just push. Man, that truck is heavy dead-stick. I told my son his arms were the power steering. 30-something mom/jogger offered to help. Then 3 pre-teen girls offered to help too - offer was cute and appreciated but we said we were okay. Decent guy driving by - just pulled over, jumped out, and put his shoulder and back into it saying only “Ill help you get it to Bob’s.” We pushed her to Bob’s. Guy disappeared before we could properly thank him. Bob’s will diagnose tomorrow.

It will be what it will be. But in the midst of all the noise and confusion we’re hearing and seeing seemingly every minute of every day, what I did with my 2007 Pilot today was had my faith restored.

Now if Bob’s tries to gouge my pockets, tomorrow I’ll be singing to a different tune!🤣

Good to have some faith in people once in awhile. If the ATF leaked from the lower part of the radiator either a rubber hose ruptured, clamp loosened or the metal lines outside of the radiator broke from rust resulting in the massive leak.

 

[plplplpl]

Hope it's just the hose(s)/clamp(s)/metal line(s). Are you contemplating changing the radiator? If so, what brand, Denso or CSF (with the brass fittings)?

What did I do with my 1st generation Honda Pilot today? I just looked at it sitting there with my most recent fill-up of $140 in the tank, passed it by in my garage, and went straight for my e-bike to go to my appointment.

 

[Pilot2003_1]

Just got this in, planning to bedline it. They offer powder coating as an option but I wanted something that would be easier to touch up and Raptorliner is easy enough to touch up and more durable. Still undecided on the color, been thinking bright orange though to match my traction boards on the roof. 😜

Couldn’t see anything underneath sin

The Denso is what is in there now so if needed, it will also be the replacement!

Just asking if the 2003 has a mass airflow sensor because I have totally forgot about this sensor and will clean or replace. It's too rainy out to go take a second look ( most vehicles have them on the air hose between the air filter and throttle body and where I looked first a while ago). From what I saw on-the-line, it's attached to the throttle body? Or possibly doesn't even have one (which, I doubt)?

On 2007, as you said, it's attached to the throttle body.

A Mass Airflow Sensor (MAF), or a Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor (MAP)?

Both if it has both. I'll clean my current MAP and place an order for a new OEM one today.

Thanks!

*edit: looks like it's only MAP. I searched for MAF on hondapartsonline.com and nothing came up.

That should be the definitive answer

Here is the part number if anyone is interested.

[Pilot2003_1]

I can confirm, 2003 is MAP sensor only. Single screw holds it down to the top of the throttle body.

Hauled cedar mulch and sheep manure for the gardens, ¯\(ツ)/¯

Other than that, still wrenching on the new bicycle's frickin' disc brakes.

Wrapped power steering pump in paper towel and tied off with long wire tie. Did this after cleaning it, TB cover and oil pan.

Edit: previously dumped in some AT-205 stop leak to help the seals. Will see if it works on my leak(s)
