Where else might it leak from? I had the same problem and replaced the hose on my 97 PSD, it was the easist one I have ever replaced BTW. But I still seem to have a leak. I havn't had time to wash it off underneath yet, but when I do, any ideas where I should look first. thanks dave

I'd look at where the fluid is coming from.
********************thanks Brian I planned on doing that, I mean that does make sense right? I mean the fluid would have to be coming from a leak right? My thought is that someone may have run across a problem with a cracked steering box, tubing lines that thru vibration have a pin hole rubbed in them. Maybe a defective pump or pump fitting. The problem with the swivel fitting seems to be the obvious and I fixed that. All the problems I listed above I have seen, but is there a more common PS leak problem that others have seen on the newer PSD's? thanks dave
How did you resolve the leak at the swivel connection on the pressure side of the pump, other than replacing with new a factory hose?
The older models 48-85-86-? had an O ring you could replace. The new one on my 97 has a differant type of fitting. You can not get to the O ring and as such the only fix I could see was to replace the hose. After doing that I seem to still have a small leak. Maybe over the holiday weekend I can clean the undercarriage again and see if I can find it. Merry Christmas dave
