Power steering leaking
I posted this in the v10 forum but a couple said I should move it over here.
I had replaced my power steering pump a couple of months ago and put a new Teflon o ring on the hose at that time. The seal was installed wrong and leaked. Fast forward to this past week, decided to not mess with screwing up the seal bought a whole hose assembly with the seal installed and that also leaks after installation. Has anyone ever tried replacing the stupid Teflon o ring on the power steering pressure hose with a regular rubber o ring? Or have any tips to keep this from leaking? I tried taking a single wrap of Teflon tape on the last few threats but that didn't help either.

I had this same problem. The o ring that came with the hose was already warped. I ended up buying an assortment o ring kit from Bezo's company for 10 bucks and replaced it with something a bit more thicker.
