power steering leaking..
a couple of months ago i replaced the power steering pump . a month ago it started leaking .. i replaced the o-rings on the reservoir and the hard line that comes in on the top of the pump ... it didnt leak for about a week . its leaking again and not sure what else i can try to stop the leaking.. its leaking from the o-ring that connects the reservoir to the pump ..any ideas ?

Not to hijack your thread, but did you have to remove the pump to get the reservoir off? I just noticed my '00 is leaking somewhere on the the bottom of the reservoir and I would like to get it off to hopefully patch it since I can't find just the reservoir alone for sale anywhere.

O- rings have a tendency to get pinched or not seat correctly.. switch them out again (the both of ya 
) and you should be good to go
good luck
