Problems with a power Stering Pump, Need some Facts. Options

[D-Man]

Okay, so my PS pump was installed by it's previous owner Now the problem here is that it's been leaking.

I just keep filling it up, but people are bitching about it; so it needs to get fixed.

I got ahold of the previous owner; and some mention of "The standard washers are not installed, its just 2 grounding connections being used for washers" was mentioned. WTF?!

So i ask what washer, and he replys "IDK"

now i'm looking at this happy blue-print (thanks to much SEARCH function You guys would be astonished how much you can learn using it )



Now my photoshop wont save when i try to highlight the part, but you see that big black diamond? Says "Gasket" next to it? I think this is where the problem could be.

My question is this Is there anywhere else that "2 washers" go; or could go, that would cause a leak (in the power steering fluid) when improperly installed? Rather it be farther down the line or farther up, Is there any other place i could expect to be leaking due to these "washers"?

Thanks guys.
