Power steering pump hose seals
Are there any seals that go on the power steering pump hose fitting connections, where the hose screws into the pump? My fittings don't have any seals and appear to be leaking from both fittings. Car is an 86 300sdl with a vickers pump.

The high-pressure fitting is a 3/8" inverted flare at the Vickers pump. See this post
Power Steering Hose Replacement W123 Inverted flares are a metal-metal seal. I think one side is usually soft like copper. There is a thing called a "soft seal" used in industry to help seal such leaks, just a thin formed washer of copper or aluminum. Voishon is one brand. A thin O-ring might work if it could be captured, otherwise the up to 1000 psig might extrude it. I don't know the size of the return fitting, but unlikely it would leak since no pressure there.
