Ye old 944 has the obligatory PS leak, it has been doing it for years but it is so minor that just topping off the fluid every other month is all that is needed.
Although it would be nice to be rid of the problem, has anyone done this? If it is a PITA? If so I need to get my belts done this year and I will just pay the mechanic to do it. On the other hand it is also time for an oil change and I could do it while I have her up on the jacks.

If the leak is in the low-pressure hose, I can tell you it is not hard at all. I even did the pump side attatchment without getting the car in the air.
high pressure, I have no idea though.

I thought my hoses were leaking on my recently purchased '87 924S, but it turned out that my rack was leaking too. I simply tightened the hose clamps on my reservoir, which cured the hose leak, then I rebuilt the rack with a kit from Rennbay (kind of high on the DIY difficulty scale, but it worked perfectly... no more leaks now!). If you have to replace any high pressure lines, be prepared to use vice grips or a chisel to break some of the allen head banjo bolts loose as some of mine would not loosen with just an allen wrench. There are copper sealing rings on each side of some of these fittings which should be replaced if you crack the lines open.
