LHM leaking from pump

Had a brand new pump fitted cos the old one was leaking.
Well today 4 days after new pump is fitted i noticed LHM coming from metal pipe that screws into what looks like a big nut on top of pump!
I tightened the pipe up and ......well the leak tiurned into a very fast drip i tried tightening and it just got worse..
I phoned the local dealer who said i need a seal, I drove in my wifes car to the dealers and was then told there are 3 different sizes, and they come in packs of two... I had to take a pack of each size to ensure i had the correct one. After the shock at the price of these things i got back to my car and put the seal in>>>
IT is still bloody leaking.
Is there a correct way to insert this seal.
I put the seal in the pump and then inserted pipe and tightened . but it seems to work loose after an hours driving and the pipe needs tightening again..
Help please[:)][V][:(!][?]

If somebody else fitted the pump, then it is their problem. Overtightening the metal pipe will do it no end of no good...

Cant really go down thaty road it was fitted by a mate as a favour. Anyhow it was me that tightened the nut after i saw the leak.
