My take on this...
I also own a 2000 Durango with the 4.7.
If you see fluid...its shot. Mine had fluid come out the back on the wiring harness!!!
If you do need to replace that line let me say this...it is a PITA!!!! you will need a 18MM and 16MM wrench to undo the line. This was one of my first repairs on the Big-D...so I had to buy them....never used the 16MM again. LOL.

the PS Hi-Pressure line. Yes...replacing that line is a PITA. The sensor is easy...but the line is not. If the line is where the leak is....then it needs to be replaced. Both my line AND my sensor were shot.

Sounds like the common power steering pressure switch is leaking (needs replacement).
IAC or TPS can cause stalling.
Crankshaft sensor is a pain in the *** to replace. Mine threw a code when it was going bad. I replaced. And it wasnt pretty. If you can, drill a small hole and then screw in a heavy duty eye bolt. Attach chain or sling. Two guys to pull heavy and hard and it will pop out.

If so, they may have a special tool to extract the sensor. It's common read to hear about the end of the sensor breaking off leaving the other half wedged in the block. It's such a tight fit.
I had to use a block of wood and a small hammer to pound the new one in.
Regardless I got mine out within an hour

The 4.7 must have a different sensor. When I changed mine it took less than an hour to remove the hold one and get the new one installed, which included taking off the wheel and fender well liner to get access.
