Its not a 240sx if the power steering doesn't leak.

I am highly suspicious of a 240sx that does not leak Power Steering fluid. It's just.... not right.

hehe. couldn't resist.

That just means you are half assing the job. Seriously fix your shit right and you won't have any issues.

OP you are having leaking over the nut that is closest to the pulley, not the one behind the PS pump and the fluid is coming up around the threads and out the top, not the sides where the crush washer are? Here is a picture of what the nut should look like. How are the threads on the nut and bolt part? Anything rounded out or old cross threading that looks fixed?

Yea that's exactly where it's leaking. Nope they all look fine and that's the nut I have on there too. Wonder if I don't have it tight enough. Or maybe it's too tight. It's a really weird problem. It's not pissing out but it'll leak half the reservoir in about 10 miles
