Default Power steering hose return line
Looks like my return line isn't connected fully. I just bought my 2010 with 4 k miles on it and it has a 1 year GM warranty on it. Should I take it back to dealer or is this how the connection usually looks? Looks to me like its angles on and not seated all the way on...

It's in warranty. Take it to the dealer.

That's normal. The connector there is curved and over an inch of it is in the hose. You can't push the hose on any further.

The return line is a simple gravity feed line. No pressure, so the spring clip clamp works fine.
