Power Steering Leak
Ok, here is the deal. i had a power steering leak a while back and had the hose (power side) rebuilt and everythign was fine. Now i had the next section of power steering hose leak (where it goes into the rack) so i had that rebuilt too. so i put everything back together and now it leaks from somewhere else on the rack, which it never leaked on the rack before. The hose doesnt leak now but now i have a mystery leak. Does anybody know what it could be or a way to fix it? I know this isnt usually a good thing to do but what about some of that lucas tranny stop leak stuff?
Thanks for the help guys

Are you sure both sides of the shim are in place? The banjo fitting has a piece that shims it and sometimes it will seperate into two pieces. If one side of the shim is missing it will always leak. There are two other place in the center of the rack that ps lines go into. Make sure those are tight. I've had a drip from there before.

Both of the lines that go into the rack are tight. I got a new banjo fitting thinking that was the problem but that wasnt the fix. Im a little confused when you talk about the shims. Also Is there some special way that the banjo gasket has to go or?? Its just bumming me out that in the process of fixing a leak i somehow created another one
