Aye everyone, I just replaced the hose from my power steering reservoir to pump and discovered a leak between the pump to pressured line. I replaced the lil rubber O ring with OEM on the pressured line and although the leak is dramatically less it still leaks a small ring around where it connect. Any ideas? Could the pressured line have a nick in it causing the leak? It's for a 03 Civic LX btw
Why is my P/S pump still leaking?

If that's the original PS line it could very well be leaking through tiny cracks or porosity. Might be a good idea to put a new line on it. Then see what's going on.

Pinched o-ring?
How about a sort of teflon tape or thread sealant?
If this is a widespread issue, I am sure somebody have posted a youtube video on how to install it properly.
Assuming you put new lines on all the PS system.
At least, what I understand is that OP put new lines for return and high pressure lines.

On topic however, if the fitting is not damaged then a new o-ring will seal. It did on my old Honda.

That's what I'm thinking, as the pump are pressured line are probably about 16 years old may just replace both to keep things solid
I haven't replaced the pressured line for my P/S only the rubber hose that connects the P/S reservoir to my pump
I'll probably replace both the pump and pressured line to keep things fresh

I have this problem sort of on an '02 Taurus.
It doesn't leak, but whines and won't bleed. When I apply vacuum air bubbles to the top as long as you do it. It's the only time I wished for a leak!
