I think it's leaking just from the fitting. Do I have to remove the entire hose to get to it? It's kind of hard to reach it.

 

Is it this hard line you are talking about?

 

yeah but its a little to the back above the front sway bar,

That line you pointed to goes to here, rubber hose on top...




Is it leaking from where you have that arrow, or leaking at where this pic shows?

 

Yea it's leaking from the picture I posted, to me it looks like a joining?

 

That is the return line. The rubber hose from the reservoir goes to that hard line. If that part is where its leaking then you just need a new hose and new clamp and you should be fine.

 

Finally got this thing out, it was a ***** to remove. Thanks for the help btw guys. My question now is instead of replacing this hardline can I just replace it with piece of high pressure hose?

was the hard line leaking from damage? I think your leak was due to the rubber hose that connects to that piece you have in the pic. I personally would replace both rubber hoses on either end before replacing that whole hard line.

 

yeah the hard line has a tiny hole on it which were cause by one of the clamps i think, i can get the entire return hose from the dealer right?

 

gotcha. Ya dealer should able to get you that. Im not sure about aftermarket availability like autozone, but I would stick with oem imo. You may even be able to find one from someone here parting out their car.

 

hey i know this is an old thread but did u by any chance happen to acquire the part number for the entire metal line? i have the exact same problem in my 03 evo 8 and there is a small hole in the metal line thats causing a huge leak. any help is appreciated!

 

does anyone know the size on the banjo bolt for power steering hose on a 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer

 

damn thats noi good problem

 

I thought I had found the part number for both of them at one point in time (because I need them both) but I will have to look on my laptop at home tonight.
