No fix that I would trust.Is it the high or low pressure line?Neither one is that expensive or difficult to replace.That P-S stop-leak is really for the pump seals, it causes them to swell a bit, but is only a temporary fix.Not for hoses, that I know of.

I'd suspect that power steering fluid hitting an exhaust manifold might prove to be a fire issue.

Just to confirm something - it will catch fire if it hits the hot exhaust manifold. I know someone who had this exact thing happen to him on a gas station forecourt. He was lucky to save his old mustang but the potential for an even bigger problem was very serious at the time!
Take the hose off and take it down to your parts place in another vehicle, or alternatively there are usually some companies who will come round and make on up on site at your home (more expensive but might be a good option if its a long way?)
