The power steering pump on my truck went out, so i replaced it. In the process, I had to take the rubber hose comming from the bottom of the reservoir off the metal connection to the cooling device/radiator(I don't know what the hell to call it) and it refued to come off. I used plires and got it off, but in the process, I accidentally bent the metal fitting. Once i replaced everything, i was driving around and noticed that my steering was groaning badly. Looked under my truck, and sure enough, there was a quick, consistent leak comming from the joint between the rubber hose and the metal inlet. I nearly screamed. I REALLY dont want to buy another cooling device/radiator(again, no clue what it's called) but i need to fix it. Any suggestions?

 

The dodge dealer wanted 185 for that cooler Oreillys only had universal that didnt fit i bypassed no issues yet

 

Here in the notheast, the coolers rust out. The last time I got one from the dealer, it was less than $100.

 

If it is where the outlet comes out of the rad, you can get it soldered. Make sure it isnt the weak clamp on the outlet end that the hose fits on to though. Thats where most people see leaks
