I have beat the piss out of the search engines looking for some solutions.
Here is what I'm dealing with. 95 Cobra, the fitting that goes into the power steering pump is fine. It is the fitting on the hose that goes into the this fitting that is leaking. Now I know there are 2 possible places for this fitting to leak. It can leak around the threads of the fitting and a simple teflon seal prevents that (and it's doesn't leak there). Or it can leak around the the tube that runs through the fitting. This is where the leak is. I can't find any information about what is used to seal that hose to the fitting.

I'm curious what any of you have done to deal with this problem.
I was just thinking and I might have a simple fix. I replaced my rack with a used one (I had a manual rack in it) and the rack came with the hoses. I also had the old hoses that I removed from the car when I installed the manual rack. I used the high pressure line that looked like it was in the best condition. Is there a possibility that the fitting on the line is the wrong one? I tossed the other line. I'm trying to avoid replacing the line but I will if absolutely necessary.
