[s-cars] A Different Brake Light Question

The only thing I feel with the steering is a very slight "grinding"
sensation when making very small adjustments to the steering while
traveling in a straight line.  Don't know if that means anything or
not.

Yesterday, while under the car doing an oil change, I noticed that the
hose coming down from the hydraulic pump to the bomb appeared to be
wet under the foam insulation.  It appears that it is weeping
somewhere.  Is this the hose that has a screen in the banjo bolt where
it attaches to the bomb?
