i got a 81 280zxnt, it has 2 lines that start out rubber, and then turn into metal which i believe are alluminum?...anyway when it turns into a metal line further down, its really rusty and is letting fluids out of the bottom of the line which goes underneath the motor. im not sure what these lines are but i think its leaking oil but im not totally sure. all i know is that is leaking too much to be drivable. and unfortunatly know one really helps me unless i go on the internet to search. i would look in my manual if i had one.

so basically im wondering if i can just cut the line up higher where not so rusty and slip on a rubber hose and clamp it. would that be ok or is this line highly pressurized?...

i really need help asap. thankyou very much.

 

Ummm, power steering lines? If so, yes they are pressureized.

You can go to your local auto parts store and get some hardline and a bender, cutter, flair tool and some ends and make new lines...

 

Here's your manual... FREE too. www.xenons130.com/reference

And you can either do what Audiofreak said, or check out your local junk yard.

 

Ah, yes, that would be easier... haha

 

got some new powersteering lines. and im putting em in today.
soon to be back on the road!!
thanks for the help!
