Default Power Steering Fluid Leak

I read about many power steering fluid leaks in C6 corvettes, and it is my time now.
2005 base, 110,000 miles.
Noticed power steering fluid leak, added UV dye to the resevoir, and noticed it right away. Dripping from low point of the corrugated plastic hose sleeve. It is collecting on a frame cross member and dripping from it. Looking all over, I do not see any other leaks with my blacklight.
Can anyone tell me what part (s) i need to buy to repair this? I already have all the crow's foot wrenches i have read about, etc.

Thank you!

Looks like it is just the power steering pressure hose, needs re routing... will have to look into that.
So, like the GATES 365671 would work?
