The hoses are notorious for leaks. Most ps leaks have been the hose. They are a pain in the rear to change...about a 4 hour job. I have read it helps if you access through the wheel well. This is on my to do list. It is also better to change them sooner rather than later...The fluid destroys bushings when it leaks on them...ask me how I know. Upper and lower control arm bushings and sway bar bushings are also on that list...Once it cools down a bit here.
