Default Hydraulic line leak

I was under the car the other day and noticed a line covered partially with plastic conduit leaking. The line runs along the front spring and I'm assuming it might connect to the power steering.

Has anyone had a leak like this and if so what does the dealer charge to repair it?

05, 06 and 07 had a high pressure PS line that leaked, but I thought that was fixed on the newer ones.

I have a 2012 GS Vert. It's not hitting the floor currently. It just looks greasy.

Could be a little seepage from the front seal and it just looks like a hose.

Just a thought!

I'll have to look at it again but there were other lines next to it that weren't wet. I probably won't have it looked at till next year since It's about to be put to bed.

Looking at the cramped space I know it's something I'll end up taking to the dealer.
