I just put a very close to brand new pressure line in and its leaked since I got it in and its only gotten worse within the past few days. Its the driver side fitting that is leaking. I put a brand new copper washer from Toyota in and torqued it down to the specified 33 ft/lbs. I dont understand. Yesterday alone it leak 3/4 of a quart. Any ideas? Tighten it up a little? I already used a ps "sealer, leak stopper, reconditioner".
New PS pressure line leak??!!

Sooo....has anyone given you any ideas on what could be wrong? Have you tried anything. I just tightened the bolt down to 38 ft/lbs and cleaned up the area and we'll see if it still wants to leak.
I have that problem as well. Did you make sure that all of the surfaces were clean before you put the washers in?
I know I'm gonna get flamed for this, but torque settings are for PERFECTLY CLEAN parts. Torque it more as there is probably a bit of corrosion on the threads giving you a false reading...
Those washers are a bit of a pain, just torque it more (WITHIN REASON PEOPLE, I don't want the next post to be "how do I get the bango bolt out after I snapped it?")

I torqed it down a little more now and its not leaking from there anymore. BUT...now I think there might be a leak from where the intermediate shaft goes into the steering "rack". Is that possible?
