I'm guessing the pump you got came from an auto parts store? Sounds like to me the pump you got is bad.

Took your advice Tim. I reinstalled the old pump ( did not take it back to auto store until I knew I was in the clear) with the new reservoir and O-ring from the new pump on it. Cleaned my old reservoir up and installed on new pump. Returned the new pump being straight forward and honest about what I did. The guy gave me a refund on the part but not my core. I am completely okay with this.
Will continue to monitor to see if it leaks with the new reservoir and o-ring in place...
Issue solved steering is smoother than ever. Tundra brakes coming after the holiday weekend! Then lift time...
