Default Power steering return hose leaking on RHD Car

Hi all, I've just detected a slight leak from the power steering return hose on my right hand drive, 98 Convertible where it connects to the rubber hose that supplies the cooler.
Everything I've looked at on line suggests that the connection is a quick release type and I'm hoping that a new seal will cure the leak.
As usual there is no information that I can find that can verify the connection type and how or if I can disconnect it. I'm hoping that someone has done this and can advise me.

Typically, I've recently replaced the high pressure hose due to a leak and this has found the next weakest point in the system. I love these cars but sometimes think that it's having a joke with me!
Thanks Phil

It's number 14 on this image

Search this forum for 'Norma Connector'. There are numerous tales and recoveries.

Thanks for that. I've definitely heard of those connectors. They haven't always been encouraging comments but at least it's a start.

Many of us have replaced our lousy leaking plastic Norma connectors with appropriately-sized brass hose barbs. Problem solved....
