Hey guys. I own a 1991 240sx and I recently just started leaking power steering fluid. I did some searching and found out where its coming from, and Ive looked at diagrams on Courtesyparts (Nissan) and i cant pin point what the part number so can order it. I also tried the local auto stores like Autozone, pep boys etc etc and they have nooo idea what I'm talking about.
Here is the best picture i can find of the line i need. Right where the rubber hose is covering the line for about 5inchs is where i noticed the leak.

Also is that one of the high pressure lines?
I already tired searching the forums and few others but cant really find what im looking for.
Thanks for the help!

It is. And I don't mean to be a jerk, but you should have searched harder. The information is everywhere around here.
Chase Bays Power Steering Hose - Nissan 240sx S13/S14 - Nissan 240sx - ChaseBays.com (http://www.chasebays.com/product/nissan-240sx/chase-bays-products/chase-bays-power-steering-hose--nissan-240sx-s13s14)
Probably the best buy for you. It eliminates the sensor, but that's not terribly important anyway.

Would i be able to use the "ISIS High Pressure Power Steering Line" as a replacement to just that one line? And thank you for your response and not insulting me in the process lol

yup get steelbraided ones.
they cheaper and would prolly outlast the new oem one you buy cause those are notorious for always going out sadly (-___-)

It raises the idle when you get to full lock and the pump pressure spikes in order to prevent the engine from stalling. It may also turn off the AC compressor temporarily, i'm not sure.
Never had a problem with the engine cutting out without one even at factory idle speed.
