Steering Rack Input Shaft Leak Check

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 12 other vehicles, including the 2015 Jaguar XKR-S, 2015 Jaguar XKR, 2015 Jaguar XK, 2014 Jaguar XKR-S, and 2014 Jaguar XKR. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Visually inspect the area around the steering rack input shaft for signs of leaks.

NOTE: Misting/Dampness around the input shaft seal can be mis-diagnosed as leaks (see top four pictures below). This is normal and suspected leaks should always be verified by cleaning and chalking.
G11284629

If there is clear evidence of a fluid leak at the steering rack input shaft seal after following the cleaning and chalking techniques described in the pinpoint tests, the steering rack should be replaced.
