Post Power Steering Leaking

I have had my power steering line changed twice and the the seal once. It's still leaking. Anyone else have such a problem? It's been like this since I first got the truck 25000 miles ago. It seems the pump is the problem and the line is just not properly sealing inside the pump. Thanks.

You could briefly hold the wheel to one extreme and check for drips the pressure goes very high so don't leave it too long. Your still under warrantee so why can't they just replace the pump anyways? BTW is that an aftermarket air bag system or did you modify the Ride computer on the 4 corner LLS?

I guess it will come around to that, I guess they feel it must be the line but I guess not. The airbags are custom installed. I was kinda just wondering if it was just a product defect or if it is something that happens to most Ford trucks.

Just to update the situation, The pump was replaced and it was the shaft that was leaking. With the new one, it is so much quiter and the power feels different, I quess it should have felt this way when I first purchased it. Best of all no leaking. BTW user name change.
