Leaking P.S. box

[player1up]

I've got a 73 duster with power steering and it's leaking out of a fitting that is bolted to the front at the steering box. Is there an o-ring in there or something that I can do to keep the fluid from coating my engine bay? or sounding like a mid 80's fox body rustang... and don't say swap to manual....

or if someone has an exploded diagram?

Is this the fitting you are talking about?

If so, there are two o-rings. Larger for the upper and smaller for the lower hole. If I recall, the existing were not O-rings. The cross-section was square.

Mine leaked also, so I replaced it with regular O-rings. It stopped the leaking. By the way, think it has a pretty low torque rating for those bolts. I don't have a FSM handy to look it up.

Hope this helps.

yep, That's the thing. I'll have to dig through the 'ol box of o-rings to see if I have the right ones.

Thanks

FWIW, I know the dealer had an o-ring/seal kit for that.
