Its pretty simple. I think you are talking about the low pressure side. You need a new hose. You can get a molded one OEM type, about $40.00 or go the Napa and buy about a foot and a half of hydraulic hose NOT HEATER HOSE, I forget the size just measure it witha vernier. Its a job to get the old one off so use a razor blade to cut it. It's better to get a slightly under size for good fitment. Use a heat gun or hair dryer to soften it before you put it on. It cool and shrink onto the male connectors and never leak.

Pick up some good clamps instead of those horrible BMW clamps. Clean out the reservoir. I would recommend that you use a bottle of Lucas Power Steering Conditioner instead of AFT, the suggested fluid, The Lucas Conditioner is basically super thick tyranny fluid. In older vehicles with worn internal parts and seals more viscous fluids can be helpful.

Its a lot easier if you remove the stock air box.
