This first pic is a delightful site, after at least 10 months of an annoying power steering leak. It's finally dry.

That 3 way junction is a Jag special order, no way would I get a used one. The hoses are 20+ years old and hard as a rock. They were made extremely well, cutting them is a task within its own.

At least 2 times in the last 10 months I replaced all the clamps, and have re-tightened to no avail. The connection point at the 3 way junction is within the 3 way tee itself.

What happens is the hoses just start to seep. Everywhere. This isn't at just one connecting point, its everywhere these hoses are. This causes havoc in other places as well. The indentation in the hose fits down under the coil, the connecting point at the filter and upper housing is right above your belts and guess what else? Yes, the dreaded CPS.

Because these are not high pressure hoses, they can be replaced with power steering hoses, but you will have to build your own 3 way junction.
You can't just get one hose ether, you have to buy the whole thing as in the pic, if you decide to get it from Jag.

I used copper plumbing piping. I had to get very creative because one of the hoses coming out of the 3 way junction is smaller than the others.

When doing a job like this, it gives you a chance to clean everything around the coil as well.

It works, power steering feels great again, and I stopped the bleeding.

 

Very cool job , I forgot to add in your tool topic , I like your new avatar very exquisite

 

Great info! I think ÜRO PARTS makes a replacement Y-pipe, which is pretty reasonably priced, at close to $50 or so.

The Y-pipe on my 1992 4.0 was replaced during a $1900 "B" Service at the dealer. Ouch! The factory part number is CCC-6573, priced at $164.41, along with $200 labor to replace it.

You've definitely got a great solution to such an annoying issue. And it looks like it'll hold up well, too.
