Thanks DeWalt... actually I have not changed them yet. The leak is no longer there... I took the truck out yesterday, drove it, parked it on my garage and played with the steering going from one extrement to the other.. left to the max and then right to the max, I was trying to get the hoses to leak when they were streesed due to pressure... nothing...

I honestly think I had some gremlins or something... I am holding off just one more bit...
