2006 Cayman S Power steering hose issue

[Downerman]

So I have found at least one of my leaks and it's the actual rubber hose (there are two) that come from the PS Pump down to where the rubber meets the black tubing that starts to run under the car. So I'm getting oil down at the bottom of the crimp. Now just behind that is the transition from that rubber/crimp to a brass coupler to the black tubing. When I grab the rubber hoe and turn the coupler allows it to turn right meaning it's not rigid from the rubber through to the tubing. I hope that makes sense. What I don't understand is how does that disconnect so I can replace the rubber hose?

I will need to take the drivers intake off and possibly the A/C unit to have access but that's ok. I figure while I'm there I might as well replace the PS resivour and o-ring because it's cheap and why not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, I found my answers. Sometimes you have to use several sources but with the help of my local Porsche dealership and photos from this site we managed to understand that the high pressure hose is one piece from the bottom of the PS pump to about dead center of your butt/driver seat where there is an actual coupler that disconnects. This connection in my photo is apparently not meant to disconnect.

Ordered from the dealership the hose/line and the bottom section of the PS reservoir as they were cheaper and the upper PS reservoir from this site for the same reason.

Not looking forward to the intake, A/C removal but it is what it is.
