Your right about the good timing. My 08 blew a hose fitting like that, and I didn't know it. Leaked quite abit out before I caught it. Pump was whining like a SOB. Got it to the dealer, and they replaced the hose......But not the pump. From then on, there was no leak, but the pump was loud and the steering was weird. That hydroboost system still has me wondering. Why would the tie breaks into steering.
