My power steering lines are leaking around the high pressure crimp fitting, apparently I pulled on it to hard on the last engine install

my question is what all do I need to go about plumbing in a new one with new lines.........what fitting and is there a specific hose I should look at? Seems like it would be a good time to put in a cooler as well. How would you go about routing the lines and keeping there?
Any hints tips or tricks you guys have learned from doing it would be appreciated, thanks

I have a note to myself as well about whether the p/s pump is block mount or not. Without doing research I'm not sure why I made the note and what it means. I assume it's in regards to some sort of bracket or adapter.

Good info. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

About the note, I'd guess it has to do with how the pump is mounted right up against the head and gets a lot of heat transferred into it. Probably had to do with getting the pump a little more isolated.
