2011 Jeep Liberty Power Steering Leak in Cooler

[scolivatar]

Hi all, my power steering fluid was empty, and found a small leak in the power steering cooler.
I can't seem to find any information about how to replace the cooler or which part I should look for.
Any suggestions?

Here is the power steering cooler part number from the 2008 parts fiche.
52125494AA

According to the interwebs it is the same part number on your 2011. I’m seeing it for around $100 +/-

Oh great! Thank you so much!
Any idea is this is a easy DIY fix? Or better to bring it in to get it done?

It might require you to remove the front bumper skin to get at the PS cooler. Just in case, here is a how to for that.

Otherwise, it would just require draining, refilling, and bleeding the PS system.

I hope it is as easy a replacement as it looks, being right there beneath the radiator. I do want to put out the disclaimer that I have never done this repair.
