If you had the pipe replaced already then it sounds like your steering pump is about to shite itself. Sadly....

How likely actually is it that the hose will start leaking?

It's such a massive inconvenience for me to take the car to the dealer to have it fixed... I'm tempted to just forget about it, and if it starts leaking in the future I'll get it fixed, otherwise I've saved a day of stuffing around with the dealer.

considering it's counts for the greatest portion of the "help me" threads on the euro forum... Very likely.

In this picture I'm not a big fan of the rubber over the pipe IMO it looks cheap

Hmm.... It should have a 'sleeve' on top to prevent leak onto hot engine parts.....

Actually disregard my post, I was looking at the wrong hose!

guys I just picked up an 04 Euro Lux off Larke Hoskins Homebush on Saturday, with a Vin Number that is on the recall list. Any chance they would have replaced the ps hose before I picked it up, or are they waiting for me to come in again forthis...
