02 explorer power steering line

my PS line is leaking- I looked under quickly in the rain to see it on passenger side of truck.
it looked like it had a hoop (came from driver side and looped over and back towards driver side)
ho hard is this line to replace? any schematic out there showing this? thanks

Is the line rubber or metal? High pressure or return line?

it looks like rubber with metal ends....
the line starts on driver side behind the oil filter (pump?) and goes to the passenger side and makes a "U" and has a fastener to the frame here and then heads back towards the driver side. there is a fitting here and then the hose goes down and changes to metal and goes to the rack on the driver side.

I think this is actually 2 hoses- 1 from rack and 1 from pump that meet at a fitting that is now leaking? this area of the fitting is highly corroded.....
I looked for a diagram or a chilton book at the library and on line but couldn't locate the free version

thanks
