It is, but I'd say the high pressure line is even more so.On the power steering note, I do have a leak in that area. I think it may be from the reservoir, that’s a common problem right?
You'll want to replace the tranny lines too if they're original. Once they've been softened by time and oil leaks the stress of R&R can break the fibers inside without looking worse for the wear externally, that is until they rupture under load.
