PS return leak

[Prairie Dog]

Hey All!
I've got a minor problem with a leak at the return line for the power steering system. It's the low pressure connection between the PS pump, hydroboost and cooler.
I'm pretty sure this https://www.ebay.com/itm/03-04-RAM-...090753&hash=item4af37b485d:g:tUAAAOSw5VFWO3LW is the assembly .
It's extremely hard to see and I think I'll have to remove the dr. side wheel liner to get to it.
It seems to be leaking at the clamnps securing the hoses at the "T" .
My question is, is it normally just the "constant tension clamps" that get weak or is there some kind of common fault with the hoses or the plastic T? It's only wet at the T and below. The lines going up are clean and dry as is the resevoir.

If it's just the clamps, I'll replace them with normal parts but if there's something else going on, I'll just replace everything.
I only want to get in there once!

Thanks,
Scott

The OEM clamps are as good as you can get. Most likely the hose has hardened.

Thanks Stan. After cleaning everything up. I find that the only place it's leaking is at one side of the cooler connection. The hoses don't seem particularly hard at all but after installing a common, worm style clamp, it still leaks no matter how tight I get it. .
So I ordered a new set of return line hoses (52113929AD).

Cheers,
Scott
