PS Leak

[billybob78216]

Looking at the high pressure hose right now. It had a plastic coil cover over it. I pulled the plastic and you can see a fabric thread coat of a hose, glossy looking and slimy to the touch. I don't see fluid leaking from it, even when I turn the wheel from lock to lock. Only getting maybe 2 days between fillups of the PS reservoir, before it starts to squeel and hard steering.

Anyway so it looks like the hose has to go, but damn it doesn't look easy to replace. So much in the way. How much could this cost a shop to repair?

figure maybe 2 hours times the shop rate.
