Power steering leaking

[GettinPaper]

My power steering is leaking from what seems to be the nut that holds the power steering lines down on the pump.. It's traveling up the threads and leaking out of the nut on top.. I put a copper washer too see if it would help the leaking but then the leaking kept coming out of the threads.. It looks like it's the wrong nut for it. But i don't know if that's why it's leaking out of the threads... and help is appreciated.. thanks

You could try RTV on the thread of the bolt. Is the PS overfilled?

COVER YOUR ALTERNATOR! If its not too late. PS leaks are a major alt killer. If you've relocated your alternator, disregard.

I haven't thought of RTV on the threads. And my alternator is shot already, and it's leaking slowly but not enough to drip down onto my alternator.. I check my oil/coolant daily and also wipe whatever power steering fluid is on the nut or around it.. thanks for the heads up though

2 O rings? I didn't see any when i added a new washer.. There was a crush washer on it before which wasn't even the right one and was leaking from the washer.. Now it's leaking from the threads after adding a new washer...

Number 15 in the pic, o-rings. That thread will help you!

You can see the two o-rings that need replaced about halfway down when he has that peice in the blue vice and he's taking it apart with a screwdriver.

Sweet, thanks for the help everyone. I'm gonna take it apart and check to see if the O rings are bad..
