Here is the link to the parts and part numbers at Subaruparts.com, take a look at it and see what hose it is and the price.

If it is the high pressure line, it is part number 34610PA120 and is $84.28. If it is the low pressure return hose, it is part number 34610PA071 and is $9.54. But, it could be part number 34610PA031 and is $94.17. It would be best for you to look at the picture and figure out which one is leaking.

I'd be extremely skeptical about any sort of stop-leak or "conditioner"-type product stopping a hydraulic hose leak. (Imagine trying to use radiator stop leak gunk to fix a busted radiator hose.) If you replace the hose(s) and the condition persists, either you changed the wrong hose or something else is causing the problem; leaking connection, failing seal, whatever. And before you put-off this sort of repair, be aware that PS/ATF fluid on a hot exhaust can and will erupt into flame.

There was a recent thread concerning having a hige-pressure PS hose custom fabricated at significant savings over the cost of OEM parts. I've done this before (on another car) and would investigate that route.

After feeling my return hose (luckily, the cheaper one), it was covered in grit and fluid, so I have a feeling that is the one. I noticed it is attached with cylindrical clamps, and not regular hose clamps. How hard are they to remove, and do you think I'll need new ones, or can I use the old ones?

I used plain, ATF-rated hose on mine for the cooler-to-pump run, and reusued the OEM twin-band clamps.

The return lines disintegrate and weep fluid slowly over time, whereas a leak in the high-pressure line will spew fluid and leave you with a dry pump reservoir in short order.

TOM!!! you didn't tell me that hose was leaking too!! Damn ur in it worse than I thought. The return line(not high pressure) is a simple fix and you can buy a length of hose for like $8 if that. The high pressure line is the expensive one and I know for a fact that yours is leaking. You turned the wheel while I was under hood and I got squirted with fluid as I watched it shoot out of a crack in the line. Looks like you need both in that case

Im getting ready to replace that hose, because I have been too busy to do it over the past few days. But im goign to write a how-to with pics of how to do it. but before I do, I need some info from someone who has done this. First of all, im not sure how to work these clamps (pic attached). It seems as though if I pried up an end of it, it would then be useless. Is there some trick to doing these?
Secondly, The hose is pre-molded. So when I went to Autozone, they just wanted to cut a lenght of hose. Will this be ok to use since it isnt pre-molded, or do you actually have to have one in the proper shape. Let me know so that I can get this done soon and post the how-to.

I hope the how-to contains better pictures
(does your camera have a "macro" mode?)

The hose doesn't have to be molded.

It changes the focus method for taking real close up shots (as close as 1")

Yeah I forgot to look at the picture before I posted it, in fact, it isnt even the right picture. Well I figured it out anyway, and I just finished replacing the hose, so the how-to is in progress.

Would you mind submitting the how-to to the SVXipedia? It's as easy as posting a thread here
