leak in steel powersteering hose(pics)

[buschmaster86]

went doing some bumpy offroading but the winch is reconected now and the electricety cable of the winch burnt a hole in the powersteering line.(should had the steel part ducttaped directly)

Its good reachable so thats the positive side of it.

Now whats the best way to close this hole ?

The best way is to replace it. Nevertheless, if you're waiting for part and need to drive it, go to a tire shop and they will fix that for u.

a tire shop ? what would they do ?(exept from taking money)

i dont need it as i have a second car so i can replace it but i guess there is a better way to fix such a small hole.

thanks anyway !

Tire shop can stamp it with a coat of rubber and glue it (just like they way they repair punctured tire). However I'm not sure how long will it last.

If that is on the pressure side ,I doubt it can be fixed. They use high pressure hydraulic hose for a reason.
Sometimes it can be cheaper to go to a hydraulic specialist and get a new line made rather than going to the dealer.
