I have a leak coming from around the power steering cooler that i presume is power steering fluid (reddish color). Wondering if anyone has had this issue and what they have done to fix it.

The part is only 20 at the local auto parts store. has anyone replaced it? how long did it take?

I am a college student so cheap fix that works until I can get it home for the repairs it needs are best

Thanks
 






The cooler to rack hose (rubber end on a metal line shaped like a question mark) I have replaced twice. I believe you want an 11/16" crows foot wrench. It's hard to reach. The fitting is low torque so careful not to over tighten the new line. Bleed the air out when you finish.
