      Power steering fluid leak around connection fitting

      Has anyone removed the high pressure hose from the power steering pump? My '04 has developed a leak around what appears to be a flare nut fitting. Just wondering what I'm getting into BEFORE I remove it. Are there any o-rings at this connection?

      Thanks in advance for any input.

      Genuine flare fittings don't have o-rings. Flare nut fittings don't usually loosen or leak, either. If the nut is tight, you might find it is actually leaking from the hose rather than from the fitting. That means the hose ass'y needs to be replaced.
