Re: Replacing Power Steering Return Hose

I have a leak in my system... I think it is hose (13) in that diagram.

It is puddling ATF right under the passenger side of the radiator, just in front of the passenger front tire.

Does anybody know if that is something I can pick up at the local auto parts store (rubber or silicone hose, and good clamps... what diameter, and roughly what length?)

The lower of the two hoses seems to be the "wet" one... but I could replace both while I am under there... The clamps seem to be those worm-gear kind of clamps with the slotted metal band, and I think it has chewed up the rubber hose, and started a slow drip leak.

It seems to be working ok, otherwise.
