Default Newbie needs help with power steering

Hello everyone

I'm new to the boards - but not Fords!

I have a fiesta Mk3 ('95) Frascati with power steering, and recently the steering rack failed the MoT for leaking......well I bit the bullet and decided to change it rather than bodge with leak stopper etc - trouble is, when I come to refit the new rack, I can't get the return line out of the rack to fit and seal properly - the gland nut does up tight, but the hose going on on to the back stays loose - which I can see is going to leak fluid when I turn the engine on!

Question to anyone out there that knows, is there any type of seal which needs to go onto the rack before putting the line on????? I didnt see any come out of the old one - but I guess it could have got chewed up during removal?
