I'm interested in finding gucci alternatives to grease for these kind of situations - in the military I was told in dusty conditions "guns get oiled" with graphite - in damp Holland the chances of finding dust outside of your living room are small so I've always gone for grease - but broadening my thinking to other parts of the world I can imagine that grease might not be so clever.

(Sorry to carry on about the grease thing when the OP's problem is now a steering pump)
