you have air in the line. take your power steering cap off then turn the car on and turn the steering wheel. hopefully the air will come out.

If you need a new hose. I think a stainless steel one is much better (and cheaper) then oem. I bought one for my sc3 from

Is this the replacement part for the high pressure hose that leaks and causes the alternator to go out also. If so I will order one as soon as I get your reply. I have replaced mine 2 times and it is leaking again.

Webster, what's up dude?!?!
Make sure to get all the air out of your system. It happened to me on my S14 when I replaced them.
Btw, where in texas are you at bro?
edit: I guess Bryan already suggested the air thangggg. I'm dumb ):
