Default 2004 - Power Steering Hose Replacement

Experts,

I was underneath my RX changing oil and i noticed a small power steering leak. If I lay underneath with my head towards the trunk and feet towards engine, I can see a hose coming from the underside of the PS fluid reservoir on the right hand side. The leak occurs there which I;m sure is the result of over 250k on the car. What hose do I need to order?

Is it this one? https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...=2128&jsn=2128

Or something else?

Thanks!

Since your there, I'd replace the high pressure one as well as the return line.

I agree! definitely replace the high pressure line as well; because it can "blow up" leading to fluid spraying everywhere. Thats what happened to mine a year and a half ago; I started hearing a whining noise from my steering; went to check the reservoir; and it was totally empty. I was like wth? so i went and had it looked at and sure enough my high pressure line which is the one that snakes its way from the firewall area down to the pump which if not mistaken is down near the right front tire area. So yea do yourself a favor and replace the high pressure one as well before it blows up on ya.
