I just changed out the power steering pump on my truck and how there's a leak in the fitting on the hose leading out of my pump. Not the fitting that connects to the pump. It's the aluminum pipe that comes out of my pump and then couples to a rubber hose. It's at that fitting that the leak has started. It's the one that has a connection of some sort to connect the power steering line to my trucks electrical system somehow. Maybe it's used to alert me if my fluid is too low. Anyhow...the fitting is leaking and I'm wondering if that coupling is repairable or if I have to order a completely new hose assembly that goes from my power steering pump to my power steering cooling system. I don't even know what to order if I have to replace it.
