I remember fixing a leaking return hose on my van a few years ago. Very easy to replace but it went halfway around the engine bay so it was a quite long piece of aluminium tube. The price for a new one was some ridiculous figure and there were no aftermarket options. I decided to see if I could get it repaired. The local branch of the "we fix anything to do with hydraulics" company looked at it and said "oh, no, we can't fix that". I took it up the road to a small two man outfit, they looked at it for about 2 minutes, asked if it was the feed or return, then said "no problem, come back after lunch". This was at about 11 in the morning. They cut out the leaking part and fitted a piece of flexible tube. Fixed for about 1/10th the price of a new part. The big guys are often not the best option.

i've replaced so much of these back in my dealership days because of a recall, i was replacing 5 a day at one point,it is super easy on the 4 cyl model, the 3.6 was not that bad but the older one with the 3.5 was the worst one
Everybody who jumps on the brand of vehicles Eric O works on needs to let us know what state they live in and what they drive. Then after a while, we’ll be able to figure out what vehicle requires no maintenance for where they live! Good idea huh?👏👏👏👏👏
To me, Luna's acknowledgement was more like a slight turn of the head in passing, "oh hi!" (gees I gotta get out a here!) Nice fix Mr. O. Funny how OEM's rush to get vehicles out of the factory for sale, but suddenly have the wonderful, updated with improved quality (hose in this case) replacement part! Makes you want to think......HMMMMMM!
Eric: Your power steering hose repair reminds me of a similar repair on my sister's Dodge Dart multiple decades ago. In her car the leak was at the junction of the rubber hose and the crimp fitting but the leak manifested itself as a fine stream that shot directly into the radiator fan. Needless to say the entire engine compartment looked like an animal was slaughtered there! Thanks for the memory Regards. Jeff
Well it kinda makes sense if the hose heats up and expands just enough to seal that and if it’s a return side it’s gonna have suction pulling on the fluid when running so essentially everything is working against a leak when hot. I’ve seen this kinda thing a lot working on big iron. Also seen suction side hoses pull air into the system and foam the oil and never leak a drop. 2 things that you can never expect to make sense hoses and wom… taxes that was the other one taxes.
I've had 'cold leaks' before on a couple of vehicles for various fluids. Apparently the hose and/or connection expand and tighten when warm or under pressure; when the are cold or depressurized they leak.
My 2011 journey blew the power steering hose TWICE. Loved the styling at the time but mine was a real lemon, in the shop over 30 times in 3 years for warranty work (even the FM radio antenna had to be replaced!).
Even the easy quick jobs you still manage to make them fun to watch. Anyone else and I would have switch it off 30 seconds in. Great video as always Eric.
Thank you for the channel, I recently found it and I'm fascinated. Two reasons I grew up in Avoca and my dad lives in S. Canister. So amazing to see a local (even though I'm in Ohio) and you are an amazing commentator. I would love to visit and talk for a bit next time I am in NY.
It just melts my heart when "" Luna "" comes by and meows - Hi Dad, Love you !!!!! and scurry's off. 😺😻😽 ❤ Can a repair video get any shorter than this one ??????? The coffee just stopped dripping into the pot and the video is done !!!!! 😭
@@ekop1778 Did you change the oil, at least, every 5k? Was it your fault or the car's. Did you actually junk or sell? Subies have problems with their panhead mills. Get ready. :D
I'm the exact same way when it comes to any kind of hose. Got to put the clamp back exactly on the indentations that it left from before, or make sure the clamp is facing the same way on a new hose. Yep, you've got OCD just like me lol. That's a good thing when repairing something, you always make sure it's right. My dad calls me Mr. Perfect, I always say, " no dad, it's not perfect, it's correct. Thanks for the video. God bless the O. Family.
Dodge seems to have come along nicely. Dodge used to stand for "Drops oil, drips grease everywhere". Now they've added power steering fluid to the list!
HI ERIC JUST WHAT TO SAY THANK FOR ALL THE GOOD VIDEOS AND TO SHOW ME HOW TO WORK ON MY OWN CARS AND MY FAMILY CARS AS WELL YOU ARE A VARY GOOD TEACHER THANKS FOR ALL THE GOOD WORK YOU DO
There's another one... fixed a few with the same problem but haven't seen one in a while, evidently it's a factory issue. I've not looked for a service bulletin but I'd say there may be one, especially since it's usually a locally stocked part and not "special order" aka a geographical oddity (three weeks from everywhere) great video as always!
You mentioned that leaked when cold… probably with the temps going down in your neck of the woods the power steering fluid got thick enough to increase the pressure in the system just enough to leak in a marginally crimped hose.
Hi Eric. Had the same problem on our Freightliner trucks coolant leaks . Hoses get cold & leak . Wrong hose clamps . Mechanics put on the spring type . Squeezes the hose as it cools . But the crimping is a different story.P.S. Eric the car guy is back on the air 👍⚒🛠🔧
Gettin ready to buy a lift. I want to get one as fast as yours, and as much as you use those fancy high buck pliers, I may have to take out a loan and buy a pair. Thx Eric for another fine video.
I had ONE Chrysler product I liked & found very reliable... My old 69 Valiant was pretty near indestructible. Slant-6, no power options, drums all around, AM radio, IIRC about 8 wires under the hood... Awesome car. Won't even blame the 225 for squirting out it's head gasket. (Might have driven it home about 30 miles with no coolant...) Gave me a good excuse to swap in a 318... :)
That was the return side, not much pressure, so when it was warm it probably held a little better than stone cold. When a manufacturer updates a part after production starts, it's called a ''Running Change." ben
Here is the 1st example of the now famous quote... "Just remember folks, if I can do it, you can do it."... that might be applicable to my skill level. Thank you sir.
Eric my reply went missing for some reason? Maybe because I included a link? It came up in my goo... feed so can't recall where the exact article was but I found one published by the Australian Government in Canberra on 27th December 2022. if you search most popular Pet name Canberra maybe?
I just did the hoses on my Chrysler 200. It was far more difficult on jack stands. I did not have any crows foot wrench so I had go purchase a set of them. I got an after market hose which don't have the clamps attached. I can see why you went OEM hose.
It’s like the O ring on the Challenger. Feynman showed that the rubber shrank more than the steel in cold weather. Luckily nobody died in that Caravan. Not so lucky with the Challenger.
I like crowfoot wrenches. I used one last year to replace the oil cooler lines on my 98 Chevy K1500. The top line was in a position where you really had to remove the radiator hose and top fan shroud to get good access to it. I was lazy and didn't want to drain the cooling system or take off the top of the shroud because that was kind of a pain in the rear the last time I had to remove it for something. The 20 mm flare nut crowfoot and some extensions and I got the line removed and installed in no time.
As per the Smithsonian web site: Called a "crowfoot" wrench because of its shape, this wrench was used in steam train repair work and to reach and to hold nuts and boltheads in difficult-to-reach places. 😊😊
@@SouthMainAutoso why do they call a crowbar a crowbar? I found because the crow bar was seen to be as useful as a crow's beak for prying things open or resembled crow's feet
I work in a chemical plant and lots of Viton and EPDM (think of rubber) gaskets spring leaks when they cool down and take up when they get hot again. Nipping them up when cold fixes it, but obviously can’t nip up a hose crimp.
Used to work in the wind industry. Had a couple hydraulic lines with bad crimps from factory. 260 bar (3770psi) found them quick...Lot messier inside closed hub area and brake clean was blacklisted...
Ha i see those 3 position needle nose you get there bud. Lol all of us have been buying those, I got them and the other pliers. They sure come in handy!
My 2006 GMC K2500 had a P/S leak that showed up on my garage floor. So I do what what you do and filled it and ran it looking for a leak. Nothin'. Next morning the floor is wet again. Repeat process, Nothin'. Came to realize that the input shaft seal was bad, but didn't leak while the truck was running and the box was under pressure. Had me scratchin my head for a couple days.
Eric I have a leaking water pump on my 09 dodge journey 3.5 V6 which is driven off the timing belt, I'm going to get the gates brand kit includes the water pump, timing belt, timing belt tensioner and idler. Will be my first time changing out this style water pump.
It is written in the 2004 Subaru Impreza shop manual that power steering hoses may leak in cold weather. It was cold when I noticed the smell of burning oil and that oil didn't originate from a valve cover for a change. An AWD WRX not built for the cold seems odd to me.
i'm guessing the newer hos has a slightly larger od to allow for a proper crimp. also another layer of reinforcement weave to alleviate vibration stress rupture of the inner rubber
Just an fyi, some hoses are manufactured on a mandrel then wrapped with a Kevlar tape and then cured in an autoclave, this results in the finish of the tape being moulded into the outside of the rubber hose, so often what appears to be a weave in the hose is just an imprint. Sometimes fabric is used in the construction of the hose, but not always, depending on pressure, wear properties and if it's a vacuum or pressure hose.
just a thought the hose is a return so it should be at atmospheric pressure (or very near) when running except when the oil is cold the pressure drop will be higher enough to make it leak
Also "a wrinkle extending from the outer corner of the eye-usually plural, i.e. crow's feet." First used in 14th century, the expression was invented and used long before the tool was invented, so the name of the tool would evoke images, memory and recall of resemblance to either the crows foot wrinkles in people or memory of the appearance of an actual crow's foot. In any case, the meaning would certainly be communicated, recognized and easily understood.
I have a 2013 journey r/t with almost 400,000 kms been trouble free etc but there was a recall for the power steering hose I had done a few years back so thats not bad for a car in salted roads ontario
Luna's drive by "meow" as you said "hi pumpkin" was precious. Just like "oh, gotta say hi, dad he acknowledged me"

"It doesn't make sense to me"
Ah yes, the motto of Chrysler engineers
Just like the SR71. Leaked like a sieve on the tarmac but once in the air and everything expanded it was tight .
Just an fyi, some hoses are manufactured on a mandrel then wrapped with a Kevlar tape and then cured in an autoclave, this results in the finish of the tape being moulded into the outside of the rubber hose, so often what appears to be a weave in the hose is just an imprint. Sometimes fabric is used in the construction of the hose, but not always, depending on pressure, wear properties and if it's a vacuum or pressure hose.
just a thought the hose is a return so it should be at atmospheric pressure (or very near) when running except when the oil is cold the pressure drop will be higher enough to make it leak
those hard line to rubber crimps seem to be a terrible design - just made to fail? Ooof. Loved the crowfoot in action, btw!
Also "a wrinkle extending from the outer corner of the eye-usually plural, i.e. crow's feet."

Eric, ever try the coolant system vacuum pump to refill the PS hydraulic system, especially after rack replacement?
Hey Eric, bring your opening line back to your videos! Kind of miss that.
I've not had a power steering hose do that but I've had multiple Ford coolant hoses leak profusely when cold because the o-rings shrink in the cold

A buddy and I changed out the high pressure hose on a 2008 Infiniti G37 last weekend. It took 'a bit longer' than this repair...
As George Constanta would say “It’s shrinkage!”

Higher line pressure in the cold. Also could be related to some expansion or contraction of the materials from temp.
Good catch!!
