Power steering systems can be diagrammed into two chief components. These are the power steering pump and the rack-and-pinion steering gear. The power steering pump sends pressurized fluid into the rack which moves the gear actuating the tie-rods, which moves the wheels in the desired direction. The power steering pump has a low pressure return line and high pressure out one.
believe its the high pressure power steering hose.
High pressure line gets very hot.
No, the pressure in the power steering system is too high for the clamps to hold the hose securely.
Usually the leaks are at the high pressure line or the return line of the power steering pump. Tighten all the lines at the pump.
The high pressure line is a high pressure hydraulic line. The can leak from the attachments to the fittings. The will leak where the line is damaged Or if it as a very old line they can crack.
The main thing that will happen after replacing the power steering high pressure house and you don't finish bleeding the air out of the line is poor performance. Air will replace the fluid and prevent the pump from generating the required pressure to operate.
