Power Steering Leak!! Please Help!!

Hey fellas, been readin for a while now and I've learned a TON of stuff from here but i got a problem. I have an 05 Ex w/6.0 with a power steering leak. I tried fixing it yesterday and now today its worse! Yesterday I got to the leak to what I think is the p/s pump and the leak was on top, one of the two metal tubes where it goes into the p/s pump. I tightened it, cleaned things up and today its worse. Is there a trick to these fittings or could i have tightened it too much? Thanks in advance for any help.

I'd like to help but I don't know if we share the same type of pump. Which side is leaking? The high pressure (fitting) or low pressure (hose clamp)?

A few months ago I replaced my pump, it had a slight leak after a trip to Ft Lauderdale. I purchased one from NAPA I think for $80 and when to Autozone for a pulley remover, that was the hardest part but other than that it went pretty good.
