Hello,
Replaced the 'O' ring seal , the internal gasket and the 2 'tube' type seals on the mounting bolts of my 63 Plymouth 'federal' P/S pump reservoir. Now I have a slow leak from the mounting bolts at the rear of the unit. Anybody have any tips?
 
if you are talking about the square edge seals at the bolt holes they can get out of place very easy during assembly.i would just unscrew the bolt that is leaking and see if oring is out of place.sometimes you may need to loosen the other bolt and push it back into place with a small screwdriver.(careful not to tear it)
 
Thanks for the response 67Coronet. I actually replaced the bolts with studs so I know the seals are in place. Do you glue the gasket to the inside of the reservoir or the back of the pump body?
 
Dave,
I changed the square edge seals to o-rings,you can get them in various thickness's,don't need to glue them,just make sure they are centered.
