    Leaking PS reservoir, replace just hoses?

    It looks like I have a nice leake in my PS reservoir as the two hoses are covered in oil and gunk. I figure i'll buy the hoses and replace both. I'm not sure what issues I may be getting into when I do this. Is it as easy as unmount remount? Anything special I should know?

    I also need to get some gaskets as there is a nice bit of crud from a leaky valve cover and maybe more (hope not).

    buy a new reservior too... it's an easy fix, just pay attention to how the lines are routed to the pump.

      Replacing the hoses is not a difficult job. I would suggest that you remove the reservoir, throughly clean it with solvent, and check for cracks where the hoses connect.
