Well today I pulled up on two flat bricks, I was able to clean all the grease off the line underneath,I didn't find anything,I pushed up on the line then looking under the hood where the hose meets the line is the leak,now where the hose goes into the line,there is probably an O ring,am I right??

The high pressure line between the pump and rack is solid and doesn't use orings mid-line on my later model. I think your car is the same. You will need a new line or one from a pick and pull ( much cheaper)
