Power Steering Dilemma

Hey all,
Got my power steering pump replaced the other day since the old one was leaking. Anyway, my minor leak problem that I was having before went away for a week or so, then came back today with the new pump. The leak seems to be coming from above the pump. I can only get under the car so far with it unjacked (don't have a jack handy... live in an apartment complex), but when I can there is fluid dripping from the pump and down onto the undercarriage. Mind you, it's a small leak, and not something that drips onto the pavement every time. When I had the pump replaced the mechanic said my hoses looked fine, and everything from the reservoir to the pump is bone dry. I'm thinking it may be a fitting somewhere? Anyone else experienced this before?

(sorry if this double posts... internet troubles)

Theres a big banjo bolt that goes through the high pressure hose and into the pump.

The banjo bolt screws into a fitting on the pump.

And theres also a copper gasket that gets sandwiched in there somewhere.


Make sure the fitting on the pump and the banjo are tight (torqued to spec). And the copper gasket should of been replaced when the new pump was installed.
