1965 Riviera P/S Pump

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Richard D, Jan 20, 2012.

  1. My friend was doing some work under the hood and saw a big leak where the hose fits. Said the fitting was tight. Any ideas? Is there an O-ring in there?

    It looks like an inverted flair in the pics I see for replacement parts. The flair ends can get crushed after a few times being installed and then removed. I'd just get a new one for $12 at RockAuto.com. If it still leaks the problem is in the pump. You can look at the fitting on the pump to see if there is a groove worn into where the flair should seal.
