I found a small leak just on the outside of the power steering cooler on my 2003 Z06. Is there a way to patch it or replace that part of the line, or do I need to replace the entire cooler? Leak is under the section of the hard line circled in re
Just to clarify, you're sure it's not leaking from above that point where the rubber hose meets the cooler? I'm pretty sure mine has a minor leak this location (circled in green) and the fluid travels down toward the cooler.
This piece of hose is easy to replace: I just did it on my 1999 Corvette Z51. Remove the clamps, cut the old hose off by slicing lengthwise, slide on a new 3/8" ID power steering hose (3.25" long) and clamps. I replaced mine last weekend in 1 hour from start to finish (and I work SLOW).

For those of us too lazy to figure it out on their own, do you recall what size hose you used?
