Arrow Power steering leak….

96 Cobra here.
I seem to have a power steering leak at the pump from the pressure line.
Should the line be tight in the pump throught the flare nut?
Mine is still moving around even if the nut is tight.
Is there an "O" ring in there?
thanks

The HP line will swivel a bit even tho the fitting is tight. You could either have a bad line (doubt it) or the little teflon washer on the fitting itself has gone bad. That line is a BITCH to get to without removing the pulley first.

Thanks for your reply WhiteFox, so the swiveling is ok.

Ok, after further investigation and clean-up of the area, it would seem that I have two pin-holes in the oil filter housing which would spary oil all over the area.
As anyone ever experienced this?
Can it be repaired or do I have to replaced the part?
How a PITA is it?

My PS pump has a very very small leak, I have to put fluid in like twice a year. There is always a small amount of fluid around one of the lines. I keep putting it off.
