Default Power steering issue

I have a 1989 Camry and i'm losing fluid. Think I've traced the leak to the line from the pump. It has a banjo fitting on one end a female threaded end on the other.


Looks fairly simple to replace....


Any suggestions or tips?


Thanx in advance!

Is the leak from a location that is damaged such as where the fitting is swagged to the hose or a loose fitting that can be repaired?

Make sure to replace the crush washers on the banjo fitting.

To bleed the PS system turn steering wheel lock to lock a few times.

Looking at it, I think it's from where it was swagged. Ordered a new line from Rock Auto, comes with washers too.


Thanx!

Let is know how it goes.
Be careful when you tighten those banjo bolts! I say this from experience!
