Leak on steering cooling pipes

[motorizedmoose]

Hi folks,

 

since a while, I have a leak on my steering cooling system :

 

 

 

I have to refill regularly. So first of all, I have replace the hose ( 49725MB on the next schema) two times.
The first time was with a hose that the guy from the shop told me it should fit, but it has a bit bigger inside diameter so I replace it in a short time by an another I found, with an inside diameter a bit smaller that the original one.
But the dman leak is still here

So, I begin to consider replacing the aluminium pipe, the one in red :

What do you think about this move guys ?
I'm not completely sure if the problem is not related to the hose (maybe the one is actually mounted don't manage correctly the pressure), but I was not able to find a OEM hose.

thanks for your advices / help

Use one clamp or the other. Using the oem clamp and the hose clamp like that will cause the hose to distort and possibly cause a leak. P

Just use the screw style clamp and get proper sized hose. Look at heater hose, since it can take the heat. Not fuel line. Plus, clean the nipples the hose slides over.

Thanks for the advice, I will change that (the hose and keep only the screwable clamps).

Thx

Just a follow up if someone face the same problem :

Despite all efforts, I was not able to stop the leak
So, I finally decide to replace the steering fluid cooler.

I didn't mount an OEM, I bought a Hayden kit from ebay and mount the cooler in front of the engine water cooler :

 

 

 

I plug it directly to input / output of the steering system (it bypass the fluid cooler tube, the red part on the schema above)

 

 

I mount it a week ago, and since, there is no more leak at all ! (and I did city driving plus 500kms of gravel and offroad, so, it has been tested seriously )

thanks again Rebelord for you advises =]
