This will be the power steering high pressure hose, there will be a second hose going back to the fluid reservoir correct? Mitchell 1 Data base gives about 1 Hr to do so it can't be all that hard, but as i have not replaced one, i do not know for sure.

if the leak is not at a fitting you may be able to "cap it off" with a small hose clamp? while your waiting to fix it.
