Default Leaking power steering

Hey guys.

I noticed back when I was changing my oil that my power steering fluid appears to be leaking fairly bad. The pump makes a whining noise also when first started.

I know there are 2 hoses coming out of the rack. However I can only find one on autozone's website. I have to get this thing inspected within the next 10 days and I'm pretty sure it will fail for that. Job doesn't look to hard to accomplish but why can I only find 1 hose?

I think the line with ends crimped is a dealer item. Just wipe the fluid off right before you go in to get the sticker

Mine has started leaking pretty good also. There is one line, which is the hard line well the pressure line and its available thru the aftermarket. Just priced it this morning. Runs around $30. The pump was about $110.

Good idea. They probably wouldn't look anyway. I hope.
