Last weekend flushed my power steering and it is performing so much better! Today I pulled it out and noticed it leaked in the garage and then again in the driveway (just a bit). When I did the flush I pulled the hex plug out of the pump. I haven’t had a chance to get under and look but I suspect it may be leaking from this plug. Question, should that plug be threaded all the way into the pump housing? As I screwed it in I felt like it was going in way deeper than when I removed it so I didn’t bottom it out and threaded it in as deep as I remember it was seated initially. Thanks!

Welcome to the zone mate !!!
Did it have a crush /copper washer behind the head ?
Have a look at the real oem to see if it does.
