    I might try that. But if it involves the power steering fluid going everywhere and having to go through all that, then it might be worth actually changing the hoses.

    But it has been like that for 5 years now...

    Yep easy to do.

    I blew the gasket in the steering pump and had to replace it. Wish I had thought to replace the lines at the same time :roll:

    [quote=DEFENDERZOOK]<span style="color:red">see if you can shorten the hose and refit it....

    cut of the bit that has been squashed by the hose clamp and it should
    stop leaking for a while then.....</span>

    I did exactly that and it's lasted 3 1/2 years without leaking.
    At the time I couldn't find an aftermarket piece of hose that would fit.
