Subject:Power steering low pressure hose leak

Hi listters,

Another recommendation from my recent van inspection 

My low pressure power steering hose from the reservoir to pump is leaking at the crimp. 

I’ve changed this out on my other van when it leaked and not a fun job.  I used a kit from GW. 

Anyone got thoughts on this repair?
Is there an easier way to do it then the GW kit. 
Mechanic is going to look for a used part but I’m torn as to using a used original VW or getting the GW kit. 
One of the hardest parts was actually getting the GW hose over the reservoir nipple.  
Also, once I have the van back I’ll be installing the tach.  That will be such a big improvement.

Eric
