I just finished changing my power steering belt. After taking out the 17mm bolt from the outline line, I can't seem to get the freak'in thing to stop leaking power steering fluid! I tried putting a new crush washer and a lock washer yet it still won't stop. Its still POORING DOWN! Can anyone help?
 
You need to put a new o-ring on the shaft that the banjo bolt slides over. Doesn't matter how tight you get it, or using crush washers and whatnot, it will still leak unless you get a new o-ring.
 
^^Like zj94 said, you need o-rings (oem size). Mitsubishi has power steering pump oil seal kit. After the 3rd bad rebuilt PS pump from known auto supply, I decided to just overhaul my original PS pump that I replaced 3 months ago. I even fabricated an aluminium plate to prevent the oil from dripping to the alternator.
