Our 956 is leaking oil from the orbital unit under the dash? Is it tricky/difficult/expensive to change/repair? Looks like a total PIA TBF. @Gapples @Richard Devon Thanks

Take the steering obitrol out yourself & then take it to a dealer to reseal.
Unless you know what you're doing don't strip it yourself, they are tricky to do & have to be timed on reassembly.
PS
Prior to removing the orbitrol just have a look at the pipes that go into it, I'm just remembering I've changed several, they crack beside the olive.
Thanks very much

sorry, just picked this up.......exactly what Gapples says......the orbitol needs to be reassembled correctly and be timed up, also there's a very delicate seal at the top which to install needs a tool not unlike something you would find in an Ann Summers bargain basket
As previously stated unless you know what you are doing when repairing a steering unit you can get in a right old muddle. It must be timed properly as it will turn into a hyd motor. One hydraulic company who specialises in repairing orbital units is B &N Hydraulics Ltd tel nr 024 7666 7654.
So tell us all how acquainted you are with the latter!
