Hi guys so. My power steering was making a really bad whining noise and realized my power steering fluid was low so I figured just fill it up and it’s good well no. 1 hour later it was empty again. I found a leak it’s on a metal line towards the bottom. I called autozone and they said there is a low pressure line and a return line but I’m not sure which one it is! I took pictures I hope you guys can make it out it’s a
2008 HONDA ACCORD EX 4CYL AUTOMATIC
so as you can see in these photos I jimmy rigged it but let’s be honest it only held for 2 hours lol. That’s where the issue is there’s a pinhole in the metal piping. Return line or low pressure don’t want to buy the wrong one thank you!!

 

Looks to be the power steering oil cooler line (#18) in this diagram (Honda Part No.: 53765-TA0-A00) :

 

Someone previously reported on another forum that aftermarket part from Autozone doesn't exactly line up correctly. Could possibly bend it a little to fit? They went with OE.

Bumper removal gives easier access to replace.

Honda OE part list price is about $30 - $35.

 

wow awesome thanks!! So the cooler line and low pressure line are two different items correct?

 

ohh ok I’ll probably call the dealer for the part then thanks for this info these forums really help. I was going to try and replace myself but someone told me it’s going to be a really messy job

 

It is messy because of the power steering fluid; but, not too bad. Aftermarket parts appear to be Gates 366875 or EDELMANN 93368.
