fiat brava 80sx 1.216v?

I have a leaking Power Steering (P/S) sensor on my 80sx which has P/S fluid leaking as I turn the steering wheel left/right even when stationary. The sensor on top of the brass nut, leaks when the motor is running. Some have said that the nut can be PTFE (which I'll try tomorrow). Anybody any ideas?
MOT due Weds 13th.

Cheers

the rear wiper problem is almost certainly an electrical fault on the boot closure switch ,there are 2 sets ,lft & rt on sill of boot either side of lock . they have 3 brass contacts each , unscrew the two screws on the left one ( n/s ) & ease it out of the plastic surround & i think ull find the wiring supplying the brass contacts will have a poor connection for various reasons . repair broken connection or just clean spades & im sure this will cure your problem ! ive come across this same thing 4 times now .

HI , cannot answer you about the idling / stalling problem you have, could be many things in my mind; ECU to ignition coil pack check for idle switch at throttle body.
However , your rear wiper, how d'you know the motor is ok if the wiper is not working ?!?!?
I recently bought a Bravo 1.2 80sx 16v and my rear wiper ceased to work too. With ignition swithched on (not with engine running) do you hear the wiper motor relays clicking (need quiet space and good ear)(or someone to listen at boot) If yes like mine was , then its simply the wiper motor spindle has ceased. I firstly gave it some encouragement, with wiper switched on, and got it moving (although slowley) ,then took arm off etc so I can see spindle in its sleeve and apply some good ol' WD40.Been working for 2weks now in all this recent rain !
