You might look into sourcing a used part from Chris at
Force5auto dot com, in Concord NH.  If he can't handle
the installation, Northern European Automotive is right
next door.  Chris also has a flat bed, although I don't
know if he can tow you. Concord is about 2 hours S of
Portland on Rte 202, which is a nice ride if you have
brakes. :-|

As for hoses leaking, that is more likely than the bomb.
Hoses can be rebuilt at your "local" truck stop or other
place that deals with hydraulics. They can reuse the old
connector with new hose and ferule. Some PS hoses need a
restrictor in the line; see the archives.
