Installed new rack and pinion but now as soon as I start it fluid comes out of power steering pump. Don't know what I could have done wrong.

Hello,

Does the fluid leak from where the hose connects to the pump?
It could have a bad threads or cross threaded. Did it have an O-ring/washer when you remove it?

If the bolts are not torqued properly, it can leak as well.

Let me know what you are experiencing.
Thank you
