1999 S70 power steering pump leak

Found the pump is leaking between the hard metal line at the top of the forward facing aspect of the pump and the soft hose that leads to the reservoir. There seems to be a slot/hole between the two that it's leaking from. Anyone have an idea why it would leak from there?

Rubber deteriorating at the crimp?

So pull the hard line and check the O ring?

Has to be the O ring ..

It was the o ring. Replaced it, but along the way found the mechanic who replaced the pump also cross threaded it.
argh
was able to establish a good connection however and my son is back on the road.
thanks all
