I started my rebuild yesterday and lt sat overnight, and I noticed this morning a P/S leak on the floor. Hard to see with everything together, but it appears coming from the high pressure line at the steering rack. I tried to tighten it but it is tight with no movement of the bolt. I'm not ruling the low pressure line out. Question is are there crush washers used in the installation (both high pressure and low pressure hoses)? I don't recall seeing them in the FSM so I don't think I used any. 90 NA

 

Not sure about the top one (first picture), but the bottom one looks like it's supposed to have crush washers, since it's a banjo fitting. If the top line has a flare fitting on it when it's removed, then it probably won't have a crush washer. If it's just a regular squared off fitting then you might need one.

 

Thanks AGreen, I don't remember any crush washers when I removed the line initially, but it makes sense washers are needed. Darn, it's hard to get to now.
