Has anyone done this swap with a tee fitting on the return lines experienced a leak at the tee?
Started my truck to drive home yesterday after work and the return line from the gear worked loose at the tee. Took me long enough to find it that it ran the reservoir empty. I secured the return line, refilled the reservoir, ran the engine for about 5 minutes with no change in fluid level before I got power assist back (steering and brake). Proceeded to drive 35km home in a snow squall with near zero visibility.
I've know I need to replace the pump for a while now, and I'm going to get a hydroboost style reservoir and -an lines at the same time, but winter is here and I don't have a shop. How high is the risk of this occurring again if I just clamp the crap out of the hoses at the tee fitting and keep driving? My worry is if this happens while I'm driving on slippery roads..
