I took my leaking hose to a shop that specializes in hydraulic lines. They didn't have the original fitting so they reused the one off the old hose. Cost me less than twenty bucks. If you don't know of a shop, call a heavy duty truck repair shop. Either they will be able to make up a hose or will be able to point you to a shop that does.

I topped up my PS fluid and it was down to below the minimum level within a month. It looks like there may be some seepage below the hoses next to the fill-up bottle. Does anyone know the specs of the two hoses and are they easy to replace? Thanks.
