Hello, I replaced the steering box and the lines, added fluid and I have a leak. The o-rings are on the lines and I tightened the line. It is in slightly off but I don't think I should have a leak like this. Picture attached. If you are standing in front the leak looks to be coming from the left(passenger) side of the pressure line. In the picture this would be the bottom is where the leak is.
"it appears" is a correct term. One day, it could start leaking or worse, come apart. If it was me, and it was once, I would take it apart and do it correctly. Probably will need a new hose with clean threads. I fussed with mine for about two hours until I could finger tighten that bolt with no resistance and then tightened it to spec with a wrench. I had very colorful words for whomever designed it.
