I replaced the power steering pump and I have a leak. The leak in on the high pressure line at the nut that goes in to the pump. It has no leaking at the threads, but between the nut and line. I was wondering if I could have left out something that should of came out of the old pump? I installed both Teflon o rings! I cannot get the leak to stop. Fluid is shooting out at the nut but not the thread side of the nut. Hope you can help.

It should only have one o ring on the line check to see if another one is still inside the pump.

You may have the wrong fitting in the pump or it is damaged, please remove the hose and check the fitting out.
