I noticed I have a power steering fluid leak right at the pump where the line screws in. Its as tight as I can get it and still leaks where the the steel line goes through the fitting. The line never seems to tighten up even with the fitting being tight?

What needs done to fix it?

Thanks

ive had this problem for like 3 years also and haven't bothered to touch it yet as it's a slow leak and only needs to be topped off once a year if that

That's how mine was at first. Then all of a sudden gusher city. I replaced the whole line. The fitting in the pump is teflon lined and gets wore out.

Did you try pipe sealant?

I replaced the whole line and it fixed it. It was leaking in the middle of the fitting where the line goes through. There's a teflon liner inside the fitting that was wore.
