[s-cars] x-Plug weeping woes

I'm going through my 3rd X-plug on my steering pump in 3 months.  I 
tried using a different o-ring yesterday & it lasted about 1 mile & 
ruptured.  I put my 3rd new  x-plug on immediately & it stopped weeping 
for 5 miles but now it's a slow weep.  I oiled the o-ring prior to 
install too.  Pentosin is expensive & the engine bay is splattered with 
the green spew & it doesn't smell good.  Do I have to buy a new steering 
pump or get it machined to accept a gasket or some special o-ring out 
there for high pressure?  HELP!
