This thing, with the power steering hoses coming out of it! I need a new one.

Did the Hydroboost conversion and had the one ps line made too short. It pulled crooked on the flare fitting until it started to leak, as you can tell by the bare metal on my frame.

Pull the camera back a few inches or so & post another pic for me. I can't make it out.

Looks like the steering rack to me.

Hard to tell by the picture, but based on the hose flow I am guessing the Power Steering Gear Inlet Hose Retaining Plate (looking at a 2010 diagram).

That plate is part of the P/S pressure hose OP. You will have to replace the whole hose and try again. It'd also be wise to replace the two seals while you're at it (pt#26100863).

Thanks for the part number Robert!

Yep, it's gotta come with the power steering pressure hose. I've got one coming from the stealership. Interesting to know it was engine-specific to my L76. 200 bucks. But it's better than leaking psf all over the place!

I don't see a L76 specific part# or a $200 price tag, but that may be related to your location. Was it hose# 25858603?
