Default 2nd brand new power steering pump leaking...

I need some insight here. I've installed my second power steering pump and it's leaking out of one of the mounting holes on the back. It's starting to turn into a nightmare.

Any insight as to how the pumps break down and why the o-rings would fail?

I really would appreciate it.

,Doug

Belt tensioner will do it if it has to much tension on it I smoked 2 in less than 6 months before replacing it on a gas burner this year

No. Before even putting on the belt it's leaking out the mounting bolts. I just went to advanced. Picked up master seal kit. Any instructions on tearing em down out there?

It's leaking out of one of the two mounting holes are. Where you put the bolt into the back of the pump to hold it stationary..

What brand of pumps are you using? I try to stick with GM or AC Delco for a lot of parts
