Power Steering Leaking from small tube - how to fix

[moreforles]

Hi, my ps fluid is leaking. it appears to be coming from the small tube going into that little block with 2 tubes going in and 2 tubes going out. the tube has this little black rubber hose on it that slides back and forth. I dont know what this black hose is for but the leak is coming from inside that black hose. it is very hard to get at, a lot of stuff blocking in the way. the 5th picture down from this post shows the tube with the black hose. any suggestions? do I have to replace that bottom tube and take everything apart? what is that black hose for? thanks

If i remember correctly there is just a mount with rubber inside to hold PS solid lines. If you have a leak there, you should drain ps fluid, remove leaking pipe and check for damages or cracks in it. I suggest replacing it with another used/uncracked one. You can weld it though...Correct me if i was wrong.

any help?

I noticed that it is a pinhole on the bottom thin line. It seems as though I would have to take all the stuff out from above just to access this area. Is there any type of spray glue I can spray on and hope it seals?

you won't have to take any stuff from above - you can access all bolts from the bottom.you could drain your fluid and ask someone to weld there, but that would be too ghetto (imho).

do it once and do it properly - change the whole line.
