PS leaking!!!!

I have been seaching the forum and have not netted any results. My power steering line is leaking where the rubber line connects to the aluminum line. It is the return line from the radiator. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? I would appreciate any help!!!!!

You will have to replace the line.there is no other fix for it.

Yep I second that, dont try fixing it without replacing it (and yeah it was a pain to change but got easier when you took your time and removed stuff out of the way)... Had a pin hole leak in my hose last year after some hard driving, so we figured we'd cut it in half and put a metal connector inbetween, clamped it on hard and all, first start the hose burst along with making a good mess with the fluid.

Hydrallic shops can make you a hose.

I know this is old but I will be replacing my radiator hose and my power steering return line because the cooler is leaking through plus power steering hose is leaking. Well I'm just going to go with out the cooler now but my question is what size is the nut holding the return line into the rack? It seems I've tried metric and standard wrenches and the closest ones still fit loose (both metric and standard). I'm thinking about cutting the line and using a socket to get it off. any help on size?
