The pump is a high-pressure low-volume type. Pressures are on the order
of 1500psi...

I would start by replacing the broken hose. Power steering fluid is
flamable and every time you let it spray on the exhaust manifold you
risk setting your car on fire. This isn't something to be playing
around with.

Thanks for the helpful advices, everyone.
I'd attempt to replace the high pressure hose, no luck. Now, I'm thinking
of cut and splice. Took gearbox out today, hard as labor camp. I am looking
for a good strong clamp that will clamp a 1500psi rubber/fiberglass/nylon
tube. Where can I find one?
Thanks

no luck there
1500 psi will put your eye out NOW.
Missed the OP, you need a hose or pump.
Or BFH.

I agree. Don't try to splice a high-pressure hose!

You don't have the necessary equipment to clamp a high pressure power
steering hose. If you can't get a new one take your old one to the
local hydraulic hose place and have them fix it for you. Virtually
every town has one... they make the hydraulic hoses for all the dump
trucks and fork lifts and stuff like that

and be very careful handling the hose when under pressure.
A pinhole will work like a needle, pumping fluid under the skin.
Some of the hose places will come on site to make up hoses.

check with autozone and kragen, they may carry a pre-formed hose assy at
resonable cost.

Did just that. -- Installation went fine, no leaks.
Thanks to all.
