Power Steering Fluid Leak
I recently had my power steering pump replaced at the shop. When it came back there was a bad leak in the high pressure line right where it goes into the pump, the fluid was streaming out so fast I couldn't even drive 10 miles to the store without losing ALL my fluid. I replaced the 2 rubber O-rings and drove all the way from Tennessee to Kansas without any problems. Now the damn thing is leaking again! I've inspected the line and it doesn't seem to be cracked or anything, but it is still dripping right where the high pressure hose screws into the pump, even after tightening it.
Any suggestions?

Same thing happened to me when my friend replaced my power steering hose. All I had to do was pull out the hose and wrap some Teflon tape over the threads of the end that screws into the pump. Then no more leaks!
