Hi there,

Thank you for the donation,

If the leak is a high pressure power steering hose this can be done by a home mechanic but you may need a correct fitting pipe spanner, the access may be hard with out having the car on a hoist, the low pressure hose is some what easier to replace but access will also be an issue, your first job will be to identify if it is a high or low pressure hose, normally the high pressure hose goes from the pump body to the rack. The low hose returns to the reservoir, check this first.
