[Chevelle-list] ps hose "bleeding" through... ?

[Kent Lewis]

On my '68 BB which has the remote reservoir for the power steering fluid 
(mounted on the radiator support) - there is a hose which connects the 
reservoir to the pump mounted on the engine.  The fluid appears to be 
"bleeding/weeping" through the pores in the rubber.  It was a brand new GM 
hose part #01485552 gr. 8.846 .  The hose has been installed maybe 8 months 
(?), but has been slowly bleeding the last 2 months or so.  I wiped the hose 
off about a week ago, and now there is enough fluid seeping through to cause 
it to drip a small puddle on the inner fender well.  The fluid I used is 
made by REDLINE,  it is a synthetic power steering fluid.
Has anyone seen anything like this before ?
