Angry Power Steering pump leak

1974 F100 FE. How do you stop leak between pump and housing. I have used new o-ring and plenty of sealer. No leak while setting on bench and full of fluid. No leak for few weeks after install but then there is always fluid hanging from front bottom of pump. Same situation with 2 pumps. Surely there is a way to seal this area. Thanks for your input
