Power steering leak

I have a 1990 760 turbo with 320,000 miles, and the power steering fluid is leaking. I think the return hose may need replacing. Is this a common problem and is it difficult to replace?

Thanks.

Oil leak

I have a 1990 760 turbo with 320,000 miles that is leaking oil and the valve cover is the recipient of much of this oil. Is it possible that the oil cap gasket is bad and allowing oil to spit up over the valve cover?
Thanks.

I finally used an impact wrench and got the gear off.

Re: Car won't start after headgasket replace

I finally towed the car to a local mechanic. Not sure what they did, but it may have been timing. Thanks for your help.

Re: Car won't start after headgasket replace

I will try the oil in the cylinders. However, the car turns over well (with a jumper) and I tested the spark on each plug wire and it is good. I tried spraying starter fluid into the air intake (not sure if it gets to the cylinders) and the engine just doesn't seem to fire. The starter just keeps tu...

Re: Car won't start after headgasket replace

I think the problem is with fuel. Can you tell me how to check the fuel fuse and the relay?

Car won't start after headgasket replace

I have a 1990 760 Turbo in US that won't start after replacing headgasket. Timing belt has crankshaft and camshaft aligned at TDC. Pulled spark plug wires and each sparks. Turns over well.
