My car started leaking from the upper connector/fitting of the Power Steering Pressure hose that is connected to the assembly part. The rest of the hose looks fine.
Can this be fixing by replacing the o-rings or do I need to replace the entire line?

Thanks

Hello,

Usually when a power steering hose is leaking, especially the pressure line, it should be replaced. In the diagrams down below I have included the instructions for the removal and installation of the pressure hose from the vehicle manufacturer. Please go through this guide and get back to us with how everything turns out.

Thanks,
Alex
