Power steering hose leaks

Does anyone have a solution for a power steering hose leak? Either a replacement hose and clamp (preferably not the $200 one from the dealer). Also where can I find power steering fluid? I understand it is hard to find and really expensive.

If it is at the ends, a hose clamp will do. The fluid can be had from the MINI parts department.


But, if it is from a location like this and the hose needs replaced, one can be made custom at your local Taylor Made hydraulic hose maker.

Is there anywhere else to find the fluid? The dealer is rarely the cheapest source.

I'll try the hose clamp and see if that helps.
