power steering hose leaking

[isaac]

i was just looking under my blazer and it looks like its leaking ps fluid from one of the hoses. i recently changed the box, ps pump and the high pressure line but i didnt change the low pressure hose. it looks like it is leaking from the low pressure hose. i think its leaking from one of the hose clamps on the low pressure hose. so my questin is should i just get some new hose and reclamp it with hose clamps, or is there a part number out there for the whole new part? whats the easiest way to fix this without draining all my ps fluid out while fixing? if i do just get some new hose what kind do i need to buy? any input would be appreciated.

thx isaac

Personally Id hit up a good auto parts store and get the needed length of transmission cooler line or they may acutally list something as P/S hose. It will be a higher pressure rating and higher quality than generic fuel or vac hose.
Doing it without any loss or spillage?? a matter how fast can you unplug one and plug on the other. Probably be easier to just pull the line off the box and quickly stick it in a big coffee can to drain the pump then swap hoses.

that sounds like a plan thanks for the reply.
