power steering lines

[SuperBuickGuy]

Normally, I post tech; but today, I need advice - my power steering line is leaking right at the cooler. I've done a bit of googling, but not found a replacement....

maybe I should just say "the heck with it" and replace it all with AN fittings? might, actually, be cheaper....

anyone else have this issue? what was your fix?

I replaced mine with alpha lines which have a cooler in line. I'd say go for AN lines though.

Im guessing it's leaking at the crimp? Replacing it with AN lines probably won't be cheaper. The factory lines use o-ring sealed fittings (because they are extremely cheap to manufacture) so you would need adapter fittings on each end. The advantage is that you can then build your own hose.

Exactly what I did to mate them to a Nissan box. Since I didn't know my final hose length or routing...I just bought the AN adapters, some hose, and made my own. Easy.

you're right, it's leaking at the crimp.... I'll dig out my camera and get a pic of it when I'm doing the oil change today.

found the leak - right at the PS pump... which is interesting because I didn't replace the pump ah well...
