I would not take the chance and suggest getting your leaking OEM pump rebuilt.

The one I ordered from volvette was reversed geared as for a Cadillac Northstar. I informed them of the problem and returned em for a refund. Did they correct them ? I have no idea. I would not want to relive the 4 installations it took me to determine the problem but the place I had the original rebuilt determined the components were reversed internally by design. Again for a Cadillac Northstar vs a LT5 ZR-1 Corvette. Bluntly it was a total PITA.

Hello all,
I just installed a modified aluminum ps pump that was modified by TurnOne in Saginaw, MI (989-759-4206). I talked with Mark and he was extremely helpful.
The whole process was not a particularly easy job (5 hrs), but the TurnOne modified ps pump fit perfectly and, so far, is performing flawlessly. I'm very pleased after reading the ps posts here and being unable to find either a used or OEM replacement. Fair warning: it's releatively costly as it's a custom modification so it fits and works.

Thanks people!!!! Mechanice thinks it MAY just be the ps inlet hose which I just ordered and received from Corvette Central!! In the meantime just add fluid when needed
