Does anyone have a solution to power steering leaks from the steering pump. I swapped out the pump with remanufactured one & now it leaks worse then the original. Seems to leak after it is turned off! Not sure if I got air out of the system when I refilled the pump. Any help would be appreaciated cause I'm dreading changing it out again.:eek:

Did you reuse any of the old pump parts? Like the reservoir? Then look there.
Sounds like your problem may be elsewhere than the pump (or you got a bad unit from the reman).
Take it to the car wash and pressure wash the whole areas then watch very closely look for leaking in the lines or joints and especially around the anti-lock brake unit. It uses the PS pump pressure to pulsate the brakes if you have an ABS.

Thanks for the tip. I changed out the p/s pump and it appears to have solved the problem.
