i would like to know what the power steering hose in the rear bottom of the engine is called. i have a leak coming from that line. the one from the reservoir seems to be okay. i followed it down and noticed it dripping from the bottom lines, i purchased a pressure hose but i think i need the bottom lines. i just don't know what they are called.
i will attach a photo of the line i bought.

Hi,

Is it possible for you take a picture of where you see the leak and upload it for me to see? I don't believe the return like is run under the engine as you mentioned. However, I should be able to tell if I see it.

I attached the best pic i could find showing where the high pressure line attaches to the rack and pinion. Hopefully it will help.


Let me know.

Okay, took some photos but apparently it says file type not allowed. I'm not sure why.
