I have a pretty bad leak coming from the lines. Please forgive my
lack of proper terminology, but I have managed to locate the exact
leak point. It is coming from the jic (???) fitting on the pipe that
connects the power steering gear to the rack. I think it's the supply
side. I'm not really sure how to properly seal this thing since I
think it's the fitting and not the threads that is supposed to seal.
This pipe with two male JIC ends is very similar to the clutch slave
pipe on my saabs that has given me so much trouble over the years. I
don't know what caused the leak as it came on fairly suddenly. I'm
guessing that it is just continued stress from over the years as I
notice that the rack has a little play (by design?) and the lines to
get some tension on them.
Can anyone give me some advice, either temporary fix or permanent. I
will need the car tomorrow so if I can't seal it properly, then I will
probably just undo the power steering pump belt so that I won't
destroy it. I've posted a couple pics on my site just to show the
items in question. They can be seen here:

oh yeah, is there compatibility between the gas and diesel models for
both racks, pumps, steering gears...any of it? I happen to have an 85
505td that has IP problems so I could pull the parts off of that
temporarily until I can hit the pick n pull.
thanks in advance for any help.
