I have a 98 Accord 3.0 with a leaky power steering hose. Does anyone have any advice on rather it's cheaper to try and fix it or just fork or the money and order a new one. It has a pin hole leak in the house part right on top before you get to the hard line

 

The only possible fix would be having a hydraulic shop build a new hose from your ends. With several hundred pounds of pressure, there is no patch fix for a leaking pressure hydraulic hose

 

That's kind of what I was thinking, I have never dealt with that situation before. Thanks for the advice I'll definitely check into that

 

best bet is to just get the oem part new. depending on which hose it is, if it's a regular small hose than you can use regular transmission hose which works on the bottom hoses for the steering pump. the steering fluid is definitely not "several hundred pounds of pressure". if that was the case why does the reservoir bottle have a loosely placed red cap at the top? buy an oem hose otherwise super glue and duct tape will work for you in the meantime.

 

The return side of the power steering system has very little pressure. On the high side, there is alot of pressure.

 

Sorry didnt realize that but all of the rubber hoses are on the return side are they not? The hoses on the bottom go to the oil cooler, those hoses there and around the steering pump are definately not holding back hundreds let alone even 100psi, even of you told me 40psi Id be sceptical.

 

The cooler and the reservoir are both on the return side of the system.

 

that's what I'm saying dude. he said he had a leaking hose and I said ALL HOSES are on the low pressure side, there is no hoses on the car holding back "several hundreds of PSI " of pressure. it's ridiculous. hose clamps would never be able to hold that much pressure and the explosion would be like a grenade. so you misunderstood me. I understand there are several hundreds of psi inside the rack MAYBE, but no rubber hoses on the car can hold back several hundreds of PSI, do you understand now? his problem is with the leaking rubber hose, not the steering gearbox. also the high pressure hose but thats an assembly including the metal connectors so that doesn't count

 

From the description the OP gave, sounds like the high pressure side. The title is "Pressurized Line", and the leak is a pin hole in the rubber line before the hard line. The high pressure hose is essentially a high pressure hydraulic hose assembly, and it does run pressure of several hundred psi.
