I noticed yesterday that my PS pump was making noise, so I checked the fluid and it was empty. I didn't notice b/c I usually roll windows up a/c on. I immediately picked up some fluid, when I put it in and started her up I noticed a leak in the area indicated in the pic? Is this easy or expensive to fix??? Help me out Bro's :ohno:

That looks like an AC pipe? Does it connect to the PS pump or ps oil resevoir?

Looks like the fitting for the P/S pump pressure switch. If the tubing is not cracked, you can try using metal clamp (you may have to trim the tube a little bit). Otherwise, replace it.
