Subject:power steering line in engine compartment
From:Dan Barrett

Volks,
  I'm starting to lose a lot of ATF through a corroded power steering
line located in the engine compartment: specifically, the
lower/rightmost of the two steel lines which run under the airbox and
disappear through the firewall -- not sure if that's the send or return
line.
  In the short term (i.e., before I save enough cash for Frank
Condelli's replacement line kit), do I have any ready options to
replacing the corroded line?  Or, should I simply take the power
steering belt off until I've got replacement hoses?  I don't want the
corroded line to blow out when I'm on the highway and run the pump dry.

Best,
d.
