Power steering fluid cooler.

My power steering fluid cooler has rusted through from leaves etc. laying on top of the foam. Will an oil cooler designed for a motorcycle mounted on the inner fender where the hoses connect to the oem cooler do an adequate job? 80 bucks for an oem replacement is too much!

Significant Technical Input
Go to the local part store and procure some steel brake line. A bend or two and a couple hose clamps and voila!, you're back in business.
