RB25 power steering leak/seep. Cannot figure out why pls help !

What?s up everyone, I?m currently having a rather simple problem but I?m having a confusing time on why my power steering line keeps leaking.

I have tried multiple sized hoses, different types (heater hose, gas line hose etc) different style clamps and nothing. Still leaks.

Any ideas or suggestions, would be greatly appreciated. I?ll add some pics for reference.

Power steering return hose (low pressure power steering hose) is its own thing. Different material for different chemical resistance. I guess it's the same as transmission cooler hose but it's a larger diameter IIRC.

If you're able to use bulk un-bent hose without kinks, buy "power steering return hose" specifically and you should be good.

I don't know if the part is still available but I would presume that an R33 GTS25t OEM prebent return hose should fit with an RB25 and S14 reservoir like you have.

Hey thanks man! Just got a foot of it from Oreillys yesterday 😁 hoping it?ll work and not sweat anymore. Unfortunately it?s an ugly red but if it?ll stop my leak all good!

I didn?t even think of the chemical resistance that it should have had knowing how caustic power steering fluid is lol
