S13 Power Steering hose - please help

My S13 hatchback is leaking power steering fluid, and I think one of the power steering hoses is leaking.

The part should be "[49710N] HOSE & TUBE SET-POWER STEERING".

HOSE & TUBE SET-POWER STEERING - 240SX (S13) 1989-1994 :: Nissan Parts, NISMO and Nissan Accessories - Courtesyparts.com

I need to fix my car ASAP, so I want to buy a hose from Autozone or other local store.

Do you know what size and type of hose I should get?

Thanks!

Is the hose leaking, or just the fitting area? Sometimes all yoiu may need is a new brass crush washer on the banjo fitting

I already replaced the high pressure hose.

I think the hose that is leaking right now is the rubber hose from the passenger-side hard line to the power steering reservoir. Is that the power steering return hose?

Could someone explain to me how the power steering system works?

From my understanding, the high pressure hose goes from the pump to the power steering gear and linkage at the bottom driver-side (I replaced this with high pressure stainless steel line from http://www.fujiispl.com/fujiispl.com..._Products.html). The hard lines goes from driver-side to passenger-side of the steering rack. Then, the passenger-side hard line connects to the rubber hose that connects to the power steering reservoir. There is also a rubber hose that goes from the power steering reservoir to the pump (in case the pump needs extra power steering fluid).

Am I correct?

I want to replace this rubber hose too.

Do you also know the hose size for the hose goes from the power steering reservoir to the pump?

Will 3/8" rubber hose work?

Well, if that is the case, I think you need to replace your power steering hose and get it repaired probably in an auto shop like AutoMD.
