[QUOTE="JerryD, post: 441861, member: 17662"] At one time I worked for an engineering company that contracted to Saginaw Steering Gear (now Delphi) for NVH testing. Pumps can develop an incredible amount of pressure. I never had one back off of a test fixture or vehicle once it was tightened properly - certainly not 3 months later. Cross-threading a fitting would essentially jam the hose on the fitting, not keep it loose, likely causing fluid to spray. A loose hose fitting should be apparent within a relatively short time after the pump develops pressure. [/QUOTE]
