Default Del sol- No power steering...

I just put back my power steering lines on my car, but somehow I'm not getting any power steering. I tried opening from the ps pump pressure line it shoot fluid so the pump is working. I look around for leak but there isn't any, still full in the reservoir. Drove around the block lighter than before, but complete stop still turn like ****...!

I'm confused, any ideas H-T guys...

sounds like an air bubble in the line. Did you bleed it? The belt should be just tight enough to twist it to about 120 degrees off standard. Or, 3/4" slack.

with most all preasurized lines an air bubble will cause a loss in motion of fluids and power loss.

ok now i got everything working but there is a little line that is leaking fluid.
i know for an eg there are two return lines that go to the reservoir but i have the integra reservoir which only have one return line.

What can i do with the other line? I tried to stick a screw in the tube but still leaks.
