hey guys this will sound dumb but i just got done replacing the 4th power steering pump in a row on my car they were all rebuilt units and they were all leaking from the weep hole in the rear. Is ther something i am doing wrong? i just put my stock one back in for now it makes noise but at least doesnt leak.

what your doing wrong is buying 4 rebuilt units in a row. buy a new gm unit and also check your power steering cooler make sure u are not having the same problem as Josh1983

Remove the cross coolant system and run something respectable then rebuild your pump one last time. Should last after that.
