Question
My powersteering oil reservoir is cracked and leaked oil, damaging the pump.  Fluid is grey and pump noisy.  The car is only worth $5K. Would you think a rebuilt pump from O'Reilly's and a used reservoir would be OK?  If so where's the best place to look for a used reservoir and what models fit mine?

Answer
Yes, I would use a rebuilt, from O'Reilly or ???.  You can do better on line for price.

For the reservoir, you can chase junkyards.  I'd advise just buying one from what I have found to be the lowest price on-line dealer parts.
