power steering hoses. which is which???
my car is leaking power steering fluid from one of the hoses. but i dont know if its the pressure line hose or the return hose that needs to be replaced. it goes from behind the PS pulley to the steering rack. the car is a 99 camaro 3.8L v6

I think item (8) would be the High pressure hose. The one that runs to the holding tank (10) is the return. Yes the pic is from a V8 so the hoses may look a little different. Where they go gives you which is which.

i'm leaking steering fluid too, same car, same resevoir, lines, etc. and i thought there were only two lines (stupid me). i think my high pressure line is what is leaking on my car. how hard is it to replace this? i know the parts are relatively inexpensive.
