Power steering hose leak at the pump.

[J_lope82]

I have a leak at the power steering pump coming from the hose at the bottom. I replaced the Teflon ring on the threads of the hose and I installed a small oring inside the pump cavity but I hadn’t even turn the engine on at it was still leaking. Does any one have a solution they know of?

New power steering hose
My friend down the street has same problem
That fitting that screws in
Is probably worn out

Second time I hear this

 

[RAU03MACH]

Ya there a swivel type fitting
I have replaced many
You could shove a bunch of Teflon washers in there
And it would piss like a horse pissing on a flat rock

Do you mean they sell a newer style swivel type fitting or the oem is swivel type?

Autozone has them like the oem

Also when your installing the new one
As you tighten the fitting its compressing in the fitting

 

[J_lope82]

Oh ok it’s a compression fitting I see why it would be loose now.

Exactly

I ordered a néw hose on Amazon.
