Power steering leak

It looks like I am leaking power steering fluid from a line leading from the power steering cooler. It seems to be coming from where a rubber hose connects to a steel tube. I assume tightening the clamp of putting another on it would help. Any ideas on what to do or anything else to look for, like other common leaks. It's in the 20 degrees out there and I don't want to work on it more than I have to. Thanks.

If it has a screw clamp on it that should be your low pressure return line to the pump. You can try tightening it or adding another clamp to it too. If it does not stop then replace the hose. If it is the high pressure hose, replace it. Later>>>>>

Thanks for the info. I have a feeling it's the high side. I did get a good look at it yet. Just my luck that I need to replace the hose.
