Power Steering leak.

98 GST, Manual. The power steering line that connects into the bottom end of the steering column started leaking.. After struggling to get my hand in there to turn a wrench, I finally got it out and replaced the rubber O ring. Filled it back up and still leaked like a sieve.. I took it back off added another ring, and it seemed to slow it down but didnt stop it completely.. Now would the line going in need to be replaced? or the something cracked that isnt sealing it up right? Anyone ever have this happen?

Re: Power Steering leak.

I know you don't use two o-rings, so I'd guess your line might be cracked or corroded.

Re: Power Steering leak.

the line doesnt seem to be corroded.. Theres barely any rust or wear anywhere on the car.. And I dont believe the end of the line is cracked(Not 100%). But could the bottom of the steering column actually be cracked where the line connects to it?
