Steering rack fluid lines leaking

Have an 850 Volvo with leaking fluid lines (see pics). Does anyone know where I can source these lines?

The pressure and return lines are each available from FCP etc. They start around $100 apiece.
You can check junkyards for a better one.
Worst case, if your housing is rusted as well and just lines won't fix it, I have a spare PM me.

Check out FCP Euro and eEuroparts.com. Just a quick check on FCP shows a few hoses available.
Volvo Parts Lisle is also good for genuine parts: http://volvopartslisle.com/assembly/245 ... eering-Box

Thanks for the notes. The lines that are leaking are not the pressure and return line from the ps pump. The lines that are leaking are the fluid lines from the steering column part of the rack to the rack...sometimes called oil lines. If you look at a picture of a steering rack you can see these lines. IPD, FCP, the usual places do not sell these lines separately. But, FCP was able to find the part numbers and then I was able to source the lines. Should be here in a few days.

That's what I thought, it was hard to tell from the picture, which is why I posted both links for the diagrams.
FCP can usually find those kinds of parts for you. Glad you found them.
