gotta 01 1500 360 and the power steering started humming so i new it needed fluid, so i added a quart and drove it home. well the next day it did this again, but this time i left the motor running while i added it, and it started shooting fluid out of the steel hose connection on the back off the pump. what i was wondering is can this be fixed with some teflon tape or do i need a new hose?

 

any ideas i hate driving my truck like this so any help would be great

 

well i guess im gonna tear in to this problem in the morning blindly i suppose

 

new hose and swapped the pump with one off my parts truck and now it works better than new

 

ok, i'm answering about a day too late.
the old hose is likely split and/or dry rotted and needs replacement. its pretty high pressure, and needs that crimp.

you should take a hose off your parts truck to save some bucks.
