5k hydraulic hose woes

Fellow listers -

It's been almost 18 months since I've worked on the hydraulic system in
the 5k, so I suppose I was due. The pressure hose from the pump to the
steering rack (argh) has sprung a leak. I couldn't find the leak at
first, till I squeezed the rubber sheath around that hose and felt all
the Pentosin sloshing around in there.

I take it this is hydraulic repair shop time, right, Mike Arman? At last
my time has come. Anything I need to tell the shop when I have them
rebuild the hose? 

Thanks,

- Wallace
