Power steering hoses

[Ronulus]

ive been noticing that my power steering hoses were beginning to seep at the reservoir upon further inspection looks like all the hoses with the exception of the crimped high pressure line are leaking- looked into ordering hoses but the lines and hoses all come together in one piece which includes line and hose- i think im just gonna replace the hoses and clamps- anyone had any luck with this? I just removed old clamps last night and slapped some key turn hose clamps seems to be an ok fix but hoses will need to be replace soon

I did the same thing. New hose clamps.

Sometimes the hose, given its life, can be getting hard over time. I am currently seeing this on my 80 and will be replacing the PS hose on it. No matter how tight I crank down on the clamp, it still leaks.

I have had the same thing going on. I am using some of those turn key clamps, will replace hoses with some from any auto parts stores, just measure and get the same stuff cut from bulk.

Yep same here. Debated between installing some silicone hoses or just clamping it.

Make sure the silicone is rated for hot atf...silicone does a great job with coolant but isn't normally noted for resistance to oil, atf, etc.
