Default Powersteering exploded, ack.

The last time i took my car out, i blew up my powersteering. It started making strange noises and the level was down. I immediately pulled over and reealized the level was low which i refilled. I dont think it had any permanent damage. It seems like it has a leak or something as i was able to fill it up and it worked fine (while still leaking) to get it home.


I think one of the hoses has a leak. ARe these changeable without getting a whole new pump? Im away from my car so I really can't look. ANyone have any input on this?

Yes both of the hoses are removable not a big deal at all, the pressure line uses a flared connection, cant remember but pretty sure one or both ends use an o-ring also,, the return line just slips on and held with a hose clamp.
