power steering help
Hey guys my high pressure power steer line busted a week ago, i installed a new hose that same day, but was still hard to steer, it was still leakin, so i drove it home( a few miles)
I got a correct size wrench and tighten it to my max, lifted up the truck turned left then right a few times, it was fine. Then i turned on the truck and started doing the left to right. And well it has a small leak where the high pressure line connects to the steering box. My question is, is their suppose to be a oring there, or a washer or something... Its super tight but still has a slight leak... Thanks

Re: power steering help
its a 74, it has a flare, but it still is leaking so maybe the flare didnt seat properly, it was a pain to put on, or should i put anything on the threads maybe like teflon or ...
