Text item: Text Item Bob, I'm at work so I can look more closely tonight when I get home, but... I'm pretty sure it goes from the PS pump itself (Not the reservoir) to the metal tube that runs forward. Its about 12 to 18 inches long, flexible and has an outer rubber protective tube that keeps stuff in the engine compartment from damaging it. I would have to guess that it has a pressure fitting where it connects with the metal pipe running forward. So Bob ol' buddy :<) What kinda scratch would that be worth to ya?
