I have a question. I recently did an engine swap on my 1994 Celica GT. The power steering is leeking from the hose that connects to the pump itself.
The ending with the "O" is and the bolt goes through. I currently have a copper washer on both sides of that built but it leaks terribly... so on one side I stuck 2 copper washers on and it doesn't leak as bad... still drips. My question is... is there supposed to be an O ring on one side if so where and to what specification. I need help getting it to stop leaking and I know it's the source but I can't remember how it was assembled before I took it off to swap engines. Thanks guys. |

You'll just need new copper crush washers. They are available at almost every parts store.

As stated, copper crush gaskets and I goes:
Banjo Gasket Line Gasket Pump Also make sure you torque the hell out of it. -------------------- |

Perhaps the fact I was trying to get away with the old washers is the reason why I still have a leak... Thanks guys I really do appreciate it as this swap is hopefully gonna be done soon... |

If you're really in a bind you can re-soften the copper washers by heating them up real hot over a stove or torch flame and then letting them air cool, then sand them flat, they'll reseal well enough to get you home or to the parts store.
