Still chipping away at my DISCO, trying to clean up the previous owners neglect. Noticed power steering fluid on the driveway this morning. Cleaned the resovoir, pump, and send/return hoses to try to locate the leak. Checked back this afternoon and noticed fluid leaking around one of the hoses from the pump to the resovoir (at both ends). Not sure if this is the send or return hose, but it's closet to the front of the vehicle on the underside of the reso. It appears to be leaking at both ends, despite the clamps being nice and tight and the hose appearing to be in decent shape i.e. no cracks or dry rotting. Am i replacing this hose or is there something more sinister i should be looking for? Thanks again for any info. I'm two weeks into my first Land Rover ownership experience and this forum is fast becoming my best friend(s)!

Go to Atlantic British and order the full p/s hose kit, going them all at the same time is a far better way to go.

By the way, you will need to pull the pump when changing out the hoses, I just help with a 98 last weekend.
