This is silly, there is no way you can let something "get in the way" and not be sure you got it tight. Get under there and take the darn thing apart, look for the right way to seal the fitting, if it takes an O ring, buy a new one, if not, wrap some plumbing / teflon tape around it and put it back together. Don't convince yourself you cant do it. Use dextron atf for power steering fluid and it'll be RED so you can tell the difference.
