power steering

[85elcamino]

ok so last week my power steering went out so i checked it out it seems that the pumps pumping all the fluid out of the metal part of the line that screws into the back of the pump not from around the threads but inside the bolt where the metal line goes through........so my questions are is the line suppose to have o-rings to help seal it and stop it from leaking? do yall think its the line or pump all together? and im having alot of trouble finding a replacement line around here nobody has one ive even got the autoparts stores looking all over florida? so im just thinking about switching the whole pump out off of another engine but any advice is welcome and needed or maybe a place to find the right line thanx

my 82 started leaking around the pressure hose , where it screws into the power steering unit.... I bought a new one from napa and no problem since,,, I can't remember if there's an "o" ring or not.

NAPA,,, didn't have it... thats hard to believe,,, it was probably some goober behind the counter that wouldn't know what one looked liked if it had smacked him upside the head....Try Advance Auto parts or if worse comes to worse,,, go to Autozone....
