I replaced the power steering pump but the new one pours fluid out of the back when I start the engine.

Replacement power steering pump pours fluid out of the back when starting the engine?

Hi,
There really aren't too many places for it to leak from. Are both the high-pressure and low-pressure hoses tight and in good condition? Also, I believe there is a cooler on this vehicle for the power steering. Are there any leaks in that area that could appear to come from the pump?
Let me know.

I bought slightly thicker o rings, and it fixed the problem. The leak was where the high pressure line connects to the pump.

Hi,
Thanks for the update. I'm glad to know you got it resolved. I had a feeling it was the high-pressure line, but anything is possible.
Take care and feel free to come back anytime in the future.
