Today my powersteering pump lost all of the fluid. After closely looking at the lines, it is leaking at the steering rack, where the metal line goes in. I think the teflon washer is bad in there, does anyone know how to fix this, I went to ford and got a new one and it didnt fix it. It is leaking where the pipe goes into the fitting, not around the threads where it screws in. It is leaking bad, so i need help so i can drive it tomorrow

You may want to take a picture of the problem with a digi cam with a good flash, so we can see which line you are talking about, the rack has a bunch of lines connected to it.
