Power steering leak...will this quick fix work?

[Pirate99gs]

Hello,

The return line on my 2000 S70's power steering has sprung a leak. I don not have the time right now to replace the entire line, I was wondering if the stop gap fix I had in mind would work: Cut out the rotten piece and replace it with the appropriate sized rubber high pressure line.

Probably not unless you can get a crimp around both ends of it. Most places would ask you to remove the line to do that, however.

For the time being, a tight clamp (might) work, but it will still probably leak some.
