what power steering did you use? The '70s ones require a double-flare pressure hose end, while the '80s ones use a slip-on and o-ring seal. If you mismatched the pump and the hose they will leak. Actually, now that I think of it, I don't think you can use '70s pump with '80s hose, you can however lose or forged to install the o-ring that seals the hose to the pump...
