Question
2003 bmw 745li that leaks power steering fluid and depleats the reservoir from a thin line from the bottom left front of the engine, that runs to a point near the washer fluid reservoir. The line connects to a filter/valve about the size of a film canister( clear plastic #1277497). the thin line connects to one end and the canister plugs into a rubber grommet secured in the frame. I removed the canister for inspection and it has bi-directional flow. Is the canister bad or is it something else?

Answer
Hello and welcome to Just Answer.
That plastic line you are looking at is the vent for the front active sway bar. The system uses the power steering pressure to activate the sway bar. If the vent like is leaking power steering fluid, the ARS swaybar needs to be replaced.

Thank you, do you have a ball park figure for the ARS replacement/repair?
Accepted Answer
Depending on the labor rate I would say $1300 to $1500 labor included.
