They used a couple of different designs. If there's a double flare on the end, that's where the seal is made and it has to be tight. Check around the lip to be sure there's no cracks in the flare. If the end of the tube is straight with a rolled ring about 1/4" from the end, those need an o-ring to seal, and the tube will usually not be tight. It can swivel unless it has a steel mounting bracket welded to it. Those should have a new o-ring installed each time they're reinstalled. If a new o-ring seals for a week or two, then starts to leak again, it may be a generic o-ring made of rubber that is not compatible with power steering fluid.

Check o-rings on hose for cuts/scrapes etc. Lube first prior to installing then tighten. Make sure fitting is tight to pump prior to replacing hose. Sorry we have no pictures for this operation.

Remove bracket bolts in first pic, remove bolt holding line in wiggle and twist line. Make sure to replace new O-ring seals. Here are the instruction of the replacing the power steering hoses in the diagrams below. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
