P/S return hose
I want to change my Power Steering fluid. I've already the correct AC Delco fluid (not an ATF-fluid...).
But I'm unable to know which hose on the reservoir is the return-hose. This hose is to use for the fluid change.
I searched on web and here, without getting a safe result...
Thanks in advance for a picture or diagram.

The orange line #1 is the pressurized output from the pump. The fluid returns through the line that arcs around the front of the reservoir.

I think the P/S cooler is with the Z51 option (on base cars). My C6 is a direct import from USA to Switzerland without Z51 option.
The cars officially imported in Switzerland by GM have all the Z51 option.

Can someone confirm that you must use the return hose (the small one on the illustration, not the #1) to drain the power steering?
I’ve read a lot of contradictory things on the net....
Thank you in advance.
