After installing a new steering box from Dave Lenzi and rebuilding my PS pump, I also replaced both PS hoses. I got the high pressure hose made at a local hydraulic outlet. The return line I got at NAPA. The guy at NAPA said this is the stuff you need.... The old hose was just a rubber hose with a hose clamp at each end, it didn't appear to be anything special.
A couple weeks ago I noticed the return hose was dripping a bit at the pump end. Tonight I went to tighten the clamp and noticed the whole return hose is coated with PS fluid from one end to the other. It seems like the whole hose is breaking down and seeping PS fluid.
Is there a proper hose for the PS return line?
Thanks
