Default leaking power steering fluid

2001 dodge dakota power steering line is loose in fitting, the high pressure side at the rack. the fitting is tight, but the tube rocks in it.

Not sure why you are posting. You figured it out, now fix it.

I think he means the nut is tight/bottomed out but the tube is still loose and can twist and move around. I assume this problem can happen from a deteriorated O-ring at the end of the line and/or a damaged flare at the end. The only thing you can do take the line off and inspect for damage, if the O-ring looks good then just replace the line and problem solved.

That's all what I summarized in the term fix it. He already narrowed it down to one not complicated spot and just has to take apart and see whats what.
