On the XK8 it's usually the low pressure hose connection to the reservoir, and I expect the XJ8 is the same.

Well it does look like the hose. It appears to be a formed hose. Is this available after market?

I bought mine from Terry's and it was the High Pressure hose part number MNC3985AH. Mine failed 1.5 years ago with 145K miles on her. I had no problems with installation.

No, is that what comes up under that part number. From my memory it was a combination of rubber and hard line.

Wow, that one failed before the HP one. That's good, probably easier to replace.
