Good afternoon,

Can you post a picture of the hose leaking?

Yes, there are 2 more fasteners between there and the steering rack. The second diagram I sent shows the route of the hose.

The procedure is also attached in a previous post.

Number 4 is the left front of the cradle under the car. The picture is the cradle that the engine and transmission is mounted.
