[V8] Hydraulic hose from Reservoir to PS pump

... since we're talking about the supply line to the pump it really
shouldn't matter if you need to re-use your old o-rings ... you should not
see a lot of pressure there.  In fact, if I find that the feed hose is
leaking on my car (just noticed a couple drops of green gold the other day),
I will most likely look into just replacing the rubber part of the line and
using conventional hose clamps ... This is exactly what I did for the
leaking return line from the rack to the reservoir ... works just fine!

Now, if we're talking the high pressure lines, I always replace the sealing
washers when I pull a hose ... pressure is pretty high in that part of the
system ...
