I am just looking at all potential options while the engine is out so if anyone knows for sure it would help. Thanks.

Hi, the pipe is to cool the Power steering fluid, that heats up due to the pumping pressure. It works well, with the only problem that it is prone to rust, that can cause leaks. Just check that it is still in good condition.
