If it's just the hydraulic hose and not something worse....I know the return line can be easily replaced and can be done with a straight piece of hydraulic hose from the top without a lift, I did mine for <10 bucks. It goes from the reservoir to the passenger side firewall under the airbox. Plus had enough left over to do the one short piece that is near the fuel pump. Not sure about the cost of other hoses that have fittings pressed on the ends and maybe are formed(not straight). -Ry http://www.google.com/profiles/rylincoln On Tue, Feb 15, 2011 at 4:31 PM, Dave Mcneely <mcneely4@cox.net> wrote: > Power steering fluid is leaking from the reservoir, the hose connections, > or the hoses themselves.
