Name that hose *pic* (not 3g related)

[Jareds 89 LX-i]

Ok, this isn't on my 3g, but it's pretty general I think. My sisters '91 Nissan Maxima has a really big power steering leak. I can see the hose that's leaking, it's the one circled in the pic below. My question is, what is this hose called? so I know which one to buy. I don't know anything about power steering so I'm not sure what any of these hoses are exactly for. It's a pretty thick hose, so would this probably be the same hose that goes out on our cars? I've heard some peeps mention a high pressure hose (?). The p/s fluid kinda splurges around through the metal connector part and the hose end while the car is running, so it looks like it's under pressure.



Thanks guys! I wish I could find a website with all the diagrams for the Nissans, like we have for our Hondas (Majestic Honda)

Yeah it's most likely powersteering... has the steering of the car gotten worse?

If it is a PS hose then you need a high pressure fluid/oil line.

normally the hose has a pressure rating printed in white on the side of the hose.

You could always buy a chiltons for a few bucks or just go to a book store and look for an open book and see what the hose is and or find the pressure rating.
