hi guys! i am new in bimmer & i just bought e30 318i m40 from a friend.i found my power stearing oil drip out a few drip when i park my car,my friend told me is normal is it true?
 
where does the oil dripout?
if its at the pump, most probably the union nuts needs tightening or replace the union washers
if its at the rack itself, it may not be a good, possible rack failure as the m40 units tend to be a bit more fragile compared to the earlier units
there used to be a repair kit for the earlier racks, not sure about the m40 ones as its a whole sealed unit

btw i have a used steering rack in good condition if you are interested
 
tejay,thanks for your reply.i check my car already and it dripout from the rack and also a little from the paip.my repairer ask me to change the rack and not the oil seal cause it will be the same after a few month,by the way how much is ur rack?
