If your steering box is leaking in the bottom you just need to a new paper gasket, easy to copy, if you are in the mood to dismantle it[/u!. You have to remove the steering wheel, horn ring and , if I remember well, the 3 bottom screews tha fix the box body to the car structure. Have great care not to loose the ball bearings that exist inside the box, when you open it. Use a tray and do the job in a clean area.
An old trick is to fil the box whit 50% oil, 50% grease ! It is just a trick but enought to avoid problems in the MOT.
I have done this job 2 times and enjoy it - once on a p3 and then in a p5. It is not difficult and helps you to understand what is a steering box. Oh, and pay attention to the horn cable.....
If I find some time I will send some pictures of the one dismantled I have....
Kind regards to all the clubist´s
