So my sons car(the white 95 SC that I’ve posted about) started leaking power steering fluid. We changed the pump back around thanksgiving and it looked like the leak was coming from near there. I removed the line and the evo. Replaced the evo orings and the Teflon seal on the line. That fixed one leak but it still had another. After doing some digging it looked to be coming from the bottom of the pressure line. With the car running I pried on the line a little looking for the leak and it dumped all of the fluid out. It looks like maybe the metal has been rubbing on the block and I helped open it up some more.
This part has mostly been a rant. My bird is currently hogging my shop for its suspension rebuild so I’m stuck doing this outside in the dirt with these impossible to get to fittings. So as I’m trying to figure out how to get to them, I find that my hose has some weird port on it. Anyone know why this would be there? The top arrow is the end of the pressure line. The bottom arrow is pointing to a loop to hold the rubber cap on.

As I was searching around I found this on rockauto. It has a hole for a fitting.

So my questions.
1) I already have everything to upgrade the line on my car to AN per the tech article. The part about grinding the russel fitting down to fit in the pump and not block the hole in the threads doesn’t apply to cars with an EVO right? Because my line will screw into the evo and not the pump itself. Unless I’m missing something.
2) For those with super coupes or maybe it applies to other engine compartments too. Can I get to the rack side fitting from the top? I already have the upper intercooler pipe off. If I remove the lower pipe it looks like I may be able to reach the top of the rack.
