{Chrysler 300} G power steering pump leak

[Loren Nelson <lorenhelenn@xxxxxxxxx>]

I had the power steering pump rebuilt by Lares and it was installed by my restorer. The pump reservoir had a leak and it was dripping oil off the bottom of the pump. The pump worked fine except for the leak. When I removed the pump I found the rear mounting bolt goes into the oil reservoir and the bolt I removed had red silicone sealer on the threads. It has been several years since I removed the pump and I can't remember it having a sealing washer or thread sealer on that bolt but it could have. I can't remember a lot of things anymore.

The FSM does not mention sealing that mounting bolt. Is the bolt supposed to go into the reservoir? If so, what is the recommended sealing method?

Thanks,

Loren Nelson in North Georgia
