steering rack leak.
I found where it is leaking from, just need to know what i need to fix it, if it is even fixable. what parts do I need? washers, o-rings, seals and such?
I outlined the line that is leaking with my expert MS paint skills, lol.
here is a larger pic of it incase that one is too small.
Thanks for any and all help.
EDIT: the line itself isnt leaking, its leaking from between the fitting and the line.

the line itself in NOT leaking. mine is also just the fitting. i was just wondering if there was some kind of an o-ring or if it was just like brake lines and it would be a pressure fitting.
lol, dude go out and look at the area im taking about, no way in HELL are you going to get a cresent wrench in there. that was funny, but thanks for the effort

Well, I can guarantee there's a way to get at that thing easily, I'd go to the dealership and wander back in the tech area and ask one of the gusy what they use. I've done that a bunch of times, they've always told me exactly what to do. It might be one of those weird ******* tools, ya know.

He never finished the thread but was able to stop his leak by installing a new O-Ring seal. (He got his from a dealership.)

Same here. I just did this last weekend on that exact return line. I got a crescent wrench on there without any issues. The line is supposed to have an o-ring on it so if yours doesn't have one, that is the reason it is leaking. I'm not sure if you can get the o-ring separately or not because I had to purchase the whole line which came with one. Make sure you use a smaller crescent wrench and you should be fine.
