Serpentine belt tensioner, lever, shock, and idler were recently replaced... but now I wonder if something was done wrong that affected the PS pump somehow? How would I know if the high pressure line was collapsing? It looks normal, although I note that there is a visible coating of oil on the outside of both the high and low pressure lines within six inches or so of the pump. Can't tell whether it is coming from somewhere else or seeping through from inside. Alex Chamberlain '87 300D Turbo
