power steering leak *pics* Has anyone had this leak before? What line is this? Its the one farthest away from you on top when you are facing it. I have tried tightening it up. It leaked a few years back and I went to the stealership and looked at a schematic and it showed an o-ring goes in there. I replaced it and it helped for a little while. But now its just horrible. Has anyone dealt with this before and what did you do? I have tried the Lucas power steering stop leak and that aint happening.
First of all make sure the o-ring is installed Correctly and for some reason nothing stupid is going on making it leak.
Second i would pull the line out and inspect the condition of the fitting, you may possibly have a bad fitting and the line may need to be replaced/fabricated.

The dealership. I went up there and talked to the guy and asked if there was something like that in there. He pulled up some schematic showing an o-ring. Had a part # and he ordered it. I put it in. Like said it was better for a while now its ridiculous. I just dont see any guys with a leak right here, hoping someone would chime in with experience in this particular part of the system

UPDATE. I am still having the damn problem. I did a motor swap, while it was out I figured I was gonna fix this since I had all the extra room. I went and got ANOTHER o-ring. Only this time, the o ring they gave me was physically bigger than the last one, when I pulled the line the old one was still in there. I removed it, used this one, started the motor up for the first time, and its leaking its *** off. Not from around the threads, but from where the hard line goes into the fitting. Do I have my hands on a faulty line? How could a hard line be good for 7yrs then suddenly go bad? Now the motor is in the car and its a real pita to deal with now. Any ideas?
