Pump leaking from the lower rearside "pressure outlet union". (The discharge hose is not leaking. The hose tube flare fitting is not leaking.)
73 Service Manual (Pages 9-98 to 9-101) states that for a leak in this specific location to " tighten fitting to 35 foot pounds. If leakage persist, replace both O ring seals." Question: Must pump be removed from vehicle to replace the lower rearside outlet union O ring seal? or, can I remove/unscrew the outlet, install O ring, replace outlet and refill pump reservoir with fluid?
Lots of posts and threads re power steering leaks/hose replacement, but could not find post re this issue! Thanks!--George
