Default POWER STEERING

04 dakota 4.7 liter

I recently replaced the power steering pump. Unfortunately I can not get the reservoir to seal to the new pump. If anyone has any suggestions and maybe the proper place for the oring to seat in the the below picture I would be greatful.

thanks for any help

There is an oring that sits against the boss in the pump. The bracket that holds the reservoir to the pump has two bolts on one side and one on the other. The reservoid just doesn't seem to stay tight enough against the pump to make a complete seal. It will be fine for a short time but after some driving the drip, drip, drip will begin.
