Default Powersteering motor crashes

I have a 100 2.3E with A/C, without ABS from 1990.
In November 2003 the servomotor began leeking.
I replaced the motor with a new one, and were up running until august this year.
then the servo began leeking again, just below the high pressure tube.
I replaced the servo, again. But this time the servo crashed after 30 seconds.
I have replaced 4 servomotors, the highpressure tube, brakebooster, and the pressure accumulator, and the last servomotor crashed too.
Is there anyone that have an idea to what is happening ??

Are you replacing the O-rings or reusing the old O-rings? If you are reusing the O-rings then I would replace them at this time.

Also are you priming the pump before starting the engine? Are these new or remanufacture pumps or are you getting them from a junkyard??

Yes, before the 3rd. pump, I used some red stuff, but then I emptied the system, and refilled with the green Pentosin...
