boring power steering leak question

[ethanrover98]

Hello all,
170,000 miles on my 98 and I have replaced all the hoses in the power steering loop, BUT the hard line on the box itself is leaking at the bottom connection....................tightening it doesn't help and I can't find a replacement for sale anywhere and don't see mention of changing this line when I search.................any help would be appreciated......

Bump. Looking for experts to answer. I need to know this, too.

Not a definite answer but some things you can check. Pull the line and see if it is sealed with an o-ring, if so clean it well and try a new o-ring. If it is a compression fitting clean it well and look for any nicks or burrs on the sealing surfaces, carefully remove those to see if that helps.

i think it is either 14mm or 16mm metric oring. like richards said, replace the oring.
