power steering
My son installed aZZ4 engine into a 1976. There is a slow drip(weep) from the connection at the pump and the original line. Is there a chance that he has put a non metric line into a metric pump.fitting.
He has changed the O ring and it is definately tightend up. I see there is adaptors on line, so thinking this may be the problem.
This is in Canada

The ZZ4 engine has nothing to do with it. What pump certainly does. Original pump, or replacement original pump not likely. A metric fitting and a orginal line. Not likely to screw together.
Perhaps try backing off the line. (Which should be a inverted flare type fitting) and re torquing.
