I am going to need the replace the two i think, because i am use bottle of power steering fluid in like 5hr of driving.. The smaller hose is craked where the clamp is holding it to the master cylinder.When i open the hood i can see where the fluid has shot all over the bay but i can't see if there are any holes in the line so i am going to replace the hoses.. i just want to know what the hoses are so that i can go get them.....

um there isnt a master cylinder for the power steering, only reservior, return line, high pressure line, pump, and rack. If you've got it spurting everywhere my guess is that you've got it on the high pressure line that goes from the pump to rack. Check around for your ps fluid around those hoses. I've got a leak on the loop at the rack right where there's some soft rubber hoses but mine doesn't spurt everywhere, just drips like a reservior a month.
