Okay. Got some help an watched the pump as someone turned it. I couldn't find any leaks whatsoever. Lines and pump look good...no complaints. So where was all that nonsense coming from?? Well. I have a theory. For some reason the original cap won't it...idk why it's too big. None at the local parts houses have ine that'll fit either. And it seems the original cap I had ordered and put on it had come off and lost to the road. (I had put that cap on there to see if somehow it would solve my problem lol idk why) I've been using aluminum foil doubled over with a hose clamp on it to keep it covered. It's on there really tight but I figure somehow it's getting out of the cap...even though it's as tight as I can get it...
Idk which convo where the tranny lines were...but I did what u said Gary and put Teflon...worked good! So thanks!! Dad always told me not to use Teflon on certain lines cause of bevels but oh well lol
Sent from my iPhone You will. It is just testing you to see how much you care. LOL Once you get it lined out it will treat you right. I went thu the same thing with a couple of my mopars. Really never had much trouble. Just little things that I was able to fix.

I guess that is part of the fun LOL figuring out how to fix thing on our cars. At least we can get to them to work on them. That is more than I can say about the new cars. Also remember that the hose itself could be rotting out.
yea ill have to check that out when i can...i really hope i can fix that power steering leak problem before i burn something up. finally got my seats back now something else is wrong....does it ever end? haha guess thats the point of a money pit...
The hose gets old and may need replaced. If you can I would go with steel lines all the way. When using a hose I usually use a flaring tool and flare both ends of the pipe. That seems to help stop the leaks. I flare the pipe going into the rad and the line coming from the trans. Just a little extra insurance.
Hose on part right before rad...but they never leaked before...maybe I should tighten them...and tighten where they go into rad.

Sometimes when you push the hose to far on they will leak. Have the hose about 1/8 to 1/4 in from the bend then tighten with a good hose clamp and see if that dosen't help. The rad does it have metal lines all the way or a hose on part of it.?

It's not the high pressure line with the fitting...it's just the return hose with the hose clamps...I'm doing this by myself so I can't turn the wheel and watch the pump to see where it's coming from...the part by the hose is real wet so I figure it's coming out the hose. Ima try and push it down further passed the bend and put 2 hose clamps maybe....ugh I hate leaks with a passion...now I noticed a drop of tranny fluid by my radiator...when will it end!?!?! :(

Did you put teflon tape on the fitting before you installed it.??

I've been dealing with a super aggravating leak on my power steering. The low pressure line that runs to the box was leaking on both sides. Replaced hose, hose clamped it back...filled fluid...took a drive and the leak stopped on one end but where it connects to pump is still leaking bad....I just can't get it to stop. I think it's coming out as I'm driving an getting on frame making me think I have a oil pan leak. Any suggestions? I don't wanna burn up my box or pump...just can't enjoy the damn thing lol
