Default High pressure power steering hose replacement

I have a leak in my power steering hose from the pump to the steering rack. Any hints on how to replace the hose and a good place to buy a replacement.

Gaudin Jaguar in NV sells parts at aggressive prices. Just triple check parts you order and need

A hydraulic shop should be able to make you one for $30 or so. Just take your old one in and they'll reuse the fittings.

That is a money saver as Jag really charges a chunk of change for the hose. If it's as tough to replace as the one I replaced in my old V12 XKS you might learn a few new swear words. Anyone done one of these replacements recently?

You, are awesome!!! I'm kicking myself for not thinking of that since I've worked with hydraulic hoses in the past lmbo ..thanks! Probably saved me a bundle as it appears my wife's xk8 just blew a power steering supply hose..hoping it's not engine oil but looked like power steering fluid from high pressure line and happened all of a sudden while parallel parking and lots of smoke from hitting exhaust...have to get it off the ground to know for sure because the wife is a good cook and overfeeds me on occasion

power steering leaks from the fitting off the rack in the line. seeping through the thread. do these lines have an o ring in there to stop leaking? Just pulled mine out but no o ring. Or is is an indication I need new lines? Thanks
