Leaking power steering Return line

[Bearly36]

Hi! I have recently purchased a 1999 Mazda Protégé and I have a power steering fluid leak from the return line under the car on the driver's side. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this relatively easily without replacing the whole line?

Thanks!

Where is it leaking from exactly? If it's where the line connects to the rack, it may just need new washers installed. If it's leaking from the line itself, you're almost certainly going to have to replace it. If the leaking part of the line is metal, there's a chance you *might* be able to braze it where it's leaking, but I'd personally just replace the line. I wouldn't trust it to hold for very long, if at all.
