Speaking of hoses, I used a water heater hose between PS reservoir & PS Pump and it seems to be slowly weeping PS fluid through the wall of the hose. Not good, especially since I just finished rebuild of PS pump to avoid the leaking onto alternator. Must I get the "lexus" hose or is there another type hose I can use that is compatible with the PS fluid?

Try sc400-sc300 classifieds on the rack and pump.

Some parts stores have the rack with life time warranty.
