Hello,
I recently replaced my power steering pump, and found that the pressure hose was leaking badly at the pump fitting.
I was told that I needed a special teflon o-ring seal and a special tool to install the seal on the hose. I bought a bag of 6 seals and the tool, and reinstalled the pump. The pump still leaked badly. I did this four more times, each time using a new seal, and had the same problem.
I need to know if it is possible that the problem could be the hose itself, or if there is some other detail that I'm missing.
