Default Power steering leak

Hey everyone. I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I was driving my 95 XJ6 VDP yesterday and I felt a very stiff feeling and a grinding noise when turning the wheel. I stopped immediately and checked the power steering fluid just to see, and sure enough, it was almost empty. It had been full the day before! I messed around under the car a little bit and I think it's coming from the high pressure hose. Any idea what kind of difficulty I'm looking at to change this myself? It looks pretty crammed for space in that area. Anyone done this? Thanks!

This is not the awnser you are looking for. But i payd $40 for a shop to make or repair the pressure hose and it was about $30 aditional for them to remove and install the thing.
