My 76 ps Box (stock box, stock pump) is leaking at the fitting where the return line mates to the box. I've tightened it to the point I'm concerned I'm going to round the fitting. I think it may be a bit cross threaded. I have replaced the pump and the hoses. The originals were leaking in the same place, so now I'm pretty sure it's the threading in the box. By the way, the power steering is fine and every thing works wonderfully. Very happy with it besides the now heavy leak.
My question, can I run a tap into this hole, or will the shavings cause problems? Since its the return Line, I'm hoping the answer is yes. If yes, anyone know the tap size? I think the pressure side thread is bigger than the return.
Thanks for any feedback...
