Will this work on a aluminum power steering resvouir for my car is leaking from threads on bottom used j b weld steel stick still leaks a little bit?

Yes I would expect it to work for your application. I would however ensure threads are cleaned very well to allow it to bond to the metal surfaces.

The J-B Marine Weld sets up a bit on the soft side. I think it would be worth giving it a try as the cost is very low. I have used it to seal an oil leak successfully. Follow the instructions and let the product set-up before putting it into use.

Yes this will. I bought it and it worked perfectly. I tightened with pliers and had zero leaks. Anyone who says it was leaking wasn't tightening it enough.

I believe this was a fine thread pitch. I had to use it to replace the threads in the subframe on a 96 Nissan maxima. The threads got messed up along with the bolts when I replaced the control arms.

If it's plastic, it's probably ABS. Not much sticks to ABS. I'd bet the expansion and contraction from the heat and pressure would work it loose. The best thing for ABS is the plumbing cement made specifically for ABS pipe. If the radiator is metal, the Water Weld will work great. Just make sure it's clean and roughed up. Give it at least 12 hours to cure.

I think it will. The only problem I see is the heat. JB Weld has held up to everything else I have thrown at it. Balancing its small cost against the risk of failure, my advice is to try it. The worst that can happen is that it doesn't work but you still have partial tubes of the stuff for the future. It is always handy to have around!

This will work . Thing is I would recommend using a dowel rod to make sure it's straight before tightening . Second if you have access to a mug welder you can weld it in place this is what I did . Over all this should work for you either way but to make it real secure I recomend the welding or brazing method .

i used it with an impact wrench. Make sure the threads are heavily lubed with oil.

I think that this Lucas product's application is specific to power steering systems, the fluids of which are generally power steering fluid or automatic transmission fluid. It seems to swell slightly the system's rubber seals, O-rings, etc. I wouldn't try it with an oil leak, of which I infer that you mean an engine oil leak.

It is a pipe thread which means it is tapered. Tighten until tight. I think I just used my hand to torque it. If you use a wrench, do not over tighten as you may strip the threads. If it does leak, tighten a quarter turn or wrap the plug threads with teflon pipe tape. I did not have to use tape.

Will work no problem... Price is good, just keepThe threads oiled before you use it.. Even works on econoline..

I have the same problem. It takes some more cap tightening after the oil leaks. The oil lubricates the threads so if you use more force the leak will stop.

answer to your question very broad it all depends where it is leaking if it is cross thread , the oring is damage or not tighten enough it will leak. I hope this helps and you can solve the problem good luck

As I look at my spare new sensor it is welded to the flange and from what I can tell from a close inspection this sensor has no threads and was made to be press fit and then welded to the flange at the factory....sorry for the bad news

If your trans fluid lines are leaking I would suggest replacing them. If the bottom of your radiator is leaking where they enter it I would suggest a new radiator. One of those would be the best fix. That being said, I have used these little coolers for multiple fluid cooling applications, not just power steering. The most important part is having a way to clamp or seal in the fluid pressure. Usually for trans lines, you dont want hose clamps because they are liable to leak.

Not sure if it will work on a area that is subject to heat, it worked just fine on a head gasket on a finish gun. Do you have any of the old existing gasket left see if it has any metal or flame resisiance material in it. Sorry

Mine doesn't leak, maybe put some pipe tape around the threads see if that works

You can look it up online but to be honest it shouldn't matter if its aluminum or not. I have used it on aluminum and non aluminum alike and never had an issue. I believe the warnings only takes precedence in extreme cases where your radiator is already too corroded to recover using products like this. In witch case you can purchase the aluminum safe permatex brand flush. This product is great though, works wonders.
