Rack and pinion leak

Reman / refurbished rack and pinion just installed. Filled with fresh fluid, drove for 10 mins. Overnight had a decent puddle. Thought might be supply or return line. Nope, two ports up near the pinion shaft.

Can those be tightened or something?

Since mine was just purchased as a referb, I got it swapped. The company had me order another one, then ship back their bad unit. I was of course reimbursed so we were even. This was because I had a time crunch getting my original core send back. I assumed the little be of fluid was from shipping or something. The 2nd Rack and Pinion hasn't leaked in 4 years and 17,000 miles since installing. It was through buyautoparts.com that I got it.
