Power Steering fluid seepage
 
1 Attachment(s)
I changed my power steering lines last week because they were leaking from the flare seal. No more leaks from the flare but I am getting a little seepage from the threads now. I know you can put thread sealant on the intake bolts to stop the oil seepage from the bolt threads.... is this something that I can also do the threads for the PS lines? It seems like every time I get something fixed on the truck something else decides it also needs to be fixed.... funny how that works!

If it's leaking from the threads it's leaking from the flare. When hot, back it off a bit then re-cinch it. Should be good.

x2 --- If it still leaks, examine the flare and the ball it compresses against.
