Power steering

My power steering went, very heavy unable to move it at all, took it to garage, no fluid leaks so I as told needed a new pump, new pump was fitted collected my car it was all fine and working 3 days later, steering is now heavy again and not wanting to move, took it back to garage this morning, left it there all day, have fluid leaking from the power steering but they can’t figure out why, checked pump and all seals etc but they’re baffled about what’s going on, it’s going back in for further inspection, any one have in ideas why it’s playing up right after all being replaced?
