I had power steering leak on the return line down underneath the car.
I cut the rusted piece out. About 6 inches.I replaced it with fuel line rubber. Replaced fluid and fired it up. The rubber got a hole in it.
Auto store guy said it was wrong type of rubber. Said it ate rubber away. Gave me another type it also got a hole. I am thinking its too much pressure for rubber. Is there another fix I can use without replacing whole line?

Get the power steering return line from the dealership -don't be getting anything other than OEM part-your safety is at risk here-
