Help! PS reservoir lid leak and questions for tech gurus....

[pwdrhound]

I have a small leak in the connection where the approx. 1" thick rubber return hose (with the silver metal tip) attaches to the power steering reservoir lid via the red circular collar (the one on the right). I am assuming the function of this rubber hose is to return pentosin from the power steering rack back to the reservoir. As can be seen in the attached picture, there are three other "hard lines" that attach to the reservoir lid but I'm not sure of their function. Does anyone know what they do. I believe the two upper lines have something to do with the clutch as they are not present on TIP cars. What about the hard line with the red collar? What does it do? Which of the lines pressurizes the reservoir???

Porsche does not list this red collar as a separate part as it is a part of the reservoir. Any of you guys know what I"m talking about and have any suggestions of where I could acquire some used or new red clips? How about anyone with a used power steering reservoir collecting dust in the garage that they would want to convert into some beer money?? Any help would be appreciated...

Has this car been in for the PS leak recall (A307)?

A leaking PS connection can (and has) cause a fire.
