Default ST170 Leaking power steering

Hey everyone,
Just had a major prob with my ST170: PAS fluid keeps on draining out of the bottom of the power steering pump, at the connection between the pump and the line which goes to the steering rack. I've tried replacing the teflon washer that sits on the thread, but PAS fluid keeps coming out. Has anyone else had this problem? I really don't know what to do next, except for replacing the whole line - not a pump problem, it was just recently replaced

Cheers

Sounds like its not seating properly and probably consequence of the pump replacement. Have you checked they do not have a rubber"O" ring or other sealing device in addition to the teflon washer?
