Can I still buy these rubber sleeves, or will I just get oil safe rubber tube and make them? I only need to replace one, but all wiil be done when Oil Separator kit comes from FCP.
What is the best course of action for a steering rack? Reco or replace?

I just answered that! Engine Manifold sleeve US$19.99 @ at FCP! $120 per set. Expensive! Volvopartswebstore US$13.75, Better.

Pulled everything off this morning, checked the sleeves. All are o.k. Mt next suspicion is the intake manifold gasket, as I could see gaske matrial hanging below the intake flange.
Put it back together, still idling rough, and hesitating on throttle, and under load while driving.
Next I grabbed some throttle body cleaner, and sprayed it, first, sparingly onto the sleeves. No change.
Then I sprayed it below the sleeves, toward the bottom of the flange, along its length, through a flexible tube. Almost instantly the engine smoothed out and increased in revs.
Bingo, leaking from the manifold flange. Wish I had a gasket handy.
Is there a tempory fix?
Can anyone recommend a power steering reconditioner?

Buy some bare gasket from auto shop or failing that, make it from cereal box.

Hmm maybe. Think I'll wait until my PCV Kit arrives from FCP. Do it all at once.
