The 2 silver lines in the upper left corner are the lines running out to the cooler. Bottom comes from the steering rack, top goes to the overflow bottle.

The room you have to play with when replacing the hose. Where you need to work is below the two lines that you see.

Where the crimp fitting is (top center) is where my leak was coming from. The hose got pressed against the steering shaft.

Another angle that you can see how the hose makes a funny bend, leading to the leak.

Found my clips for the steering lines broken. Using some 3/8" fuel line to make much stronger supports along with a 1" hose clamp.

Clip on the left is broken (see back side). The one on the right is what is should look like. The 2 clips that take a majority of the load were broken.

What my support ends up looking like. Same distance between lines. This gets placed near where the lines loops back on itself.
