Here is a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a leaky power steering pressure line. The part is readily available at places like Autozone and many others. Replacement cost for the hose was $27. Not a very difficult job and it only requires a few hand tools.

This was so helpful! I have this exact issue with my power steering and this guide is going to make the job very easy! Thanks for posting this it really helped a lot!
Doing this job today thanks for making this! I didn't know I would need a flare nut wrench and luckily found one pretty cheap
After topping up the steering fluid, the system can be bled again by turning the wheels from left lock to right lock a few times. Much easier when both wheels are off the ground.
@dave7777 nope. Place a rag under the hose before you take it off so it does not leave to much of a mess. Check the fluid after.
