HICAS repair

[_spetznaz]

Background: bought a '91 240sx with Super Hicason the way home (150 miles)power steering stopped working.It was filled with power steering fluid instead of Dexron ATF.so i went out and purchased Dexron and filled up the power steering and bled it and thought it was fixed.

Problem: Minutes later it started leaking out, i get under the car and instantly found the rough area of the leak.

1st leak

2nd leak

those lines keep going to the rear and two of them go into this contraption(fail safe valve)

and as a bonus, i found this leaving the power steering rack and its crimped, would maybe somehow cause a rupture of the lines?

Basically i need help figureing out what to do. I know i want to keep HICAS. but not sure on the following:~what exactly is broken, the lines seem to leak but what caused them to leak, just rust? or too much pressure?~how to confimr what caused the leak~where can i buy the broken part (im on a budget being a college student)~is it just the lines that i should replace or the whole system

etc.

I posted here cause i am hoping that a professional will hear my plea(read it rather) and shine some knowledge on me.
