Is that a short one that goes straight to the pump Jim? If it's the one I'm thinking of I don't think it's super expensive (or at least it
wasn't). I had that one replaced a few years before the other 3 hoses because it was leaking slightly at the pump end.
I think the 3 hoses in question all run from the pump to the steering rack (or maybe it's just 2 of them, I'm not sure). I think part of the problem is that they pass through (or very near) the n/s wheel arch so they're a little exposed to the weather and anything the wheel can throw at them. It was under the wheel arch area where my leak started.
