Exxon Valdez

My vacuum pump is weeping like a Yankee fan, and now I'm loosing vacuum to the point that the heat doesn't work half the time.
Any advice?

is it leaking between the vacuum pump and the pwr steering pump? If so, take some carb or brake cleaner and clean off the connector between the two pumps and see if it's leaking from the vacuum side or the pwr steering side.

There is a seal (saw posted on another website but looking now.) that takes about 20min to install.

You can also go on ebay to here for a kit and dvd that will show you how to do it all.
