I second that. That "catch phrase" has given me the confidence to do just about any repair now.

I remember fixing a leaking return hose on my van a few years ago. Very easy to replace but it went halfway around the engine bay so it was a quite long piece of aluminium tube. The price for a new one was some ridiculous figure and there were no aftermarket options. I decided to see if I could get it repaired. The local branch of the "we fix anything to do with hydraulics" company looked at it and said "oh, no, we can't fix that". I took it up the road to a small two man outfit, they looked at it for about 2 minutes, asked if it was the feed or return, then said "no problem, come back after lunch". This was at about 11 in the morning. They cut out the leaking part and fitted a piece of flexible tube. Fixed for about 1/10th the price of a new part. The big guys are often not the best option.

Although it may seem as though a simple repair like this is not worth posting, you have to understand the different perspective of your amateur audience. If anything, these kind of simple fixes are definitely worth it, they are empowering because they are realistically within our DIY wheelhouse. Strangely, the most intimidating things are silly connectors that break before one understands how they work.

"Dodge is an equal-opportunity fluid loser."

Well it kinda makes sense if the hose heats up and expands just enough to seal that and if it’s a return side it’s gonna have suction pulling on the fluid when running so essentially everything is working against a leak when hot. I’ve seen this kinda thing a lot working on big iron. Also seen suction side hoses pull air into the system and foam the oil and never leak a drop. 2 things that you can never expect to make sense hoses and wom… taxes that was the other one taxes.

I've had 'cold leaks' before on a couple of vehicles for various fluids. Apparently the hose and/or connection expand and tighten when warm or under pressure; when the are cold or depressurized they leak.

i've replaced so much of these back in my dealership days because of a recall, i was replacing 5 a day at one point,it is super easy on the 4 cyl model, the 3.6 was not that bad but the older one with the 3.5 was the worst one

My 2011 journey blew the power steering hose TWICE. Loved the styling at the time but mine was a real lemon, in the shop over 30 times in 3 years for warranty work (even the FM radio antenna had to be replaced!).

Really appreciate you! How you explain the problem to where even I can understand it, then fix it. It's just fantastic work!

To me, Luna's acknowledgement was more like a slight turn of the head in passing, "oh hi!" (gees I gotta get out a here!) Nice fix Mr. O. Funny how OEM's rush to get vehicles out of the factory for sale, but suddenly have the wonderful, updated with improved quality (hose in this case) replacement part! Makes you want to think......HMMMMMM!

Thank you for bringing us along for long or short videos. There is knowledge you share every time.

Eric: Your power steering hose repair reminds me of a similar repair on my sister's Dodge Dart multiple decades ago. In her car the leak was at the junction of the rubber hose and the crimp fitting but the leak manifested itself as a fine stream that shot directly into the radiator fan. Needless to say the entire engine compartment looked like an animal was slaughtered there! Thanks for the memory Regards. Jeff

Love the kitty Eric!! She talks to you! Cute! "it's a Dodge - something or other".... LOL!

Crowsfoot, handiest tool ever. But it does blow your mind at times when used with a ratchet. Great video.

That was the return side, not much pressure, so when it was warm it probably held a little better than stone cold. When a manufacturer updates a part after production starts, it's called a ''Running Change." ben

Thank you for the channel, I recently found it and I'm fascinated. Two reasons I grew up in Avoca and my dad lives in S. Canister. So amazing to see a local (even though I'm in Ohio) and you are an amazing commentator. I would love to visit and talk for a bit next time I am in NY.

Hi Eric. Had the same problem on our Freightliner trucks coolant leaks . Hoses get cold & leak . Wrong hose clamps . Mechanics put on the spring type . Squeezes the hose as it cools . But the crimping is a different story.P.S. Eric the car guy is back on the air 👍⚒🛠🔧

Much Nicer Replacement Hose. Good Job Chrysler....

You mentioned that leaked when cold… probably with the temps going down in your neck of the woods the power steering fluid got thick enough to increase the pressure in the system just enough to leak in a marginally crimped hose.

I work in a chemical plant and lots of Viton and EPDM (think of rubber) gaskets spring leaks when they cool down and take up when they get hot again. Nipping them up when cold fixes it, but obviously can’t nip up a hose crimp.

HI ERIC JUST WHAT TO SAY THANK FOR ALL THE GOOD VIDEOS AND TO SHOW ME HOW TO WORK ON MY OWN CARS AND MY FAMILY CARS AS WELL YOU ARE A VARY GOOD TEACHER THANKS FOR ALL THE GOOD WORK YOU DO

I like crowfoot wrenches. I used one last year to replace the oil cooler lines on my 98 Chevy K1500. The top line was in a position where you really had to remove the radiator hose and top fan shroud to get good access to it. I was lazy and didn't want to drain the cooling system or take off the top of the shroud because that was kind of a pain in the rear the last time I had to remove it for something. The 20 mm flare nut crowfoot and some extensions and I got the line removed and installed in no time.

That was a weird one but nice job Eric O!

“Crows foot” wrenches, because crows use their talons or feet to hold tools to get food , so that’s what my auto shop teacher told me . Great channel!

@@athhud 🤣 Not a BMW fan. I have two. Both have been reliable.

Just an fyi, some hoses are manufactured on a mandrel then wrapped with a Kevlar tape and then cured in an autoclave, this results in the finish of the tape being moulded into the outside of the rubber hose, so often what appears to be a weave in the hose is just an imprint. Sometimes fabric is used in the construction of the hose, but not always, depending on pressure, wear properties and if it's a vacuum or pressure hose.

Gotta love a Dodge. Thanks Eric O

I'm the exact same way when it comes to any kind of hose. Got to put the clamp back exactly on the indentations that it left from before, or make sure the clamp is facing the same way on a new hose. Yep, you've got OCD just like me lol. That's a good thing when repairing something, you always make sure it's right.

I just did the hoses on my Chrysler 200. It was far more difficult on jack stands. I did not have any crows foot wrench so I had go purchase a set of them. I got an after market hose which don't have the clamps attached. I can see why you went OEM hose.

Also "a wrinkle extending from the outer corner of the eye-usually plural, i.e. crow's feet." First used in 14th century, the expression was invented and used long before the tool was invented, so the name of the tool would evoke images, memory and recall of resemblance to either the crows foot wrinkles in people or memory of the appearance of an actual crow's foot. In any case, the meaning would certainly be communicated, recognized and easily understood.

My 2006 GMC K2500 had a P/S leak that showed up on my garage floor. So I do what what you do and filled it and ran it looking for a leak. Nothin'. Next morning the floor is wet again. Repeat process, Nothin'. Came to realize that the input shaft seal was bad, but didn't leak while the truck was running and the box was under pressure. Had me scratchin my head for a couple days.

just a thought the hose is a return so it should be at atmospheric pressure (or very near) when running except when the oil is cold the pressure drop will be higher enough to make it leak

Nice seeing a no fuss repair. Be well friend.

It is written in the 2004 Subaru Impreza shop manual that power steering hoses may leak in cold weather. It was cold when I noticed the smell of burning oil and that oil didn't originate from a valve cover for a change. An AWD WRX not built for the cold seems odd to me.

Ive found if a part is on the shelf in a dealership it’s a good indicator of a common problem

From now forward it will be a warbler foot. I actually stopped a power steering return line from leaking by rotating the claim so it could exert force on the connector.

I've not had a power steering hose do that but I've had multiple Ford coolant hoses leak profusely when cold because the o-rings shrink in the cold

Recall that things expand with heat and contract with cold, which is why it started leaking when hot and not when cold

Ahhhhhhha.The break cleaner chord! So glad I tuned-in. Otherwise I would've missed it.

Talk about a big ole plate of gravy!!! Sure would be nice if every job was that out in the open and easy to repair.

Higher line pressure in the cold. Also could be related to some expansion or contraction of the materials from temp.

those hard line to rubber crimps seem to be a terrible design - just made to fail? Ooof. Loved the crowfoot in action, btw!

i'm guessing the newer hos has a slightly larger od to allow for a proper crimp. also another layer of reinforcement weave to alleviate vibration stress rupture of the inner rubber

It’s called crows feet because it’s named after the Black Crows based on their song Hard to Handle

Whew finally a easy fix😊 as usual great work 👍👍👍

Back in 2005 and 2006 GM had vendor problems with crimps on trans and power steering lines on the 2500 and 3500 series pickups and vans. I know from experience with my new truck I bought in 06'...

Not sure if it's related but crows are smart enough to make and use tools. There's KZread vids

The crow is a very intelligent bird and can use it's foot to loosen nuts, hence crows foot.

The heat from driving it expands the fitting so it will not leak until it cools and shrinks

Ha i see those 3 position needle nose you get there bud. Lol all of us have been buying those, I got them and the other pliers. They sure come in handy!

Thankfully it was accessible

The pipe had an internal flap hole. When hot or under pressure it pushed the flap closed….when cold and therefore no pressure the flap no longer sealed shut hence leak. 800/900 psi when in use and less when hot.

Really bluejay foot would be ah good name 😎

" you can use your imagination " , words that should never be said to me 😜🤣🤣🤣🤣

The hoses on these things are garbage the heater hoses especially I replace them all the time and a lot of times I have to build them myself. It’s a lot cheaper than the dealership handful of clamps, hoses, and fittings, but multiple different size hoses, and fittings. It’s crazy.

Interesting video. I would assume that when the hydraulic fluid heats up , it is more likely to leak. It proves never assume. As far as the crow, historically it was a bad luck symbol. Example. Murder of crows. I guess a fastener hard to get to would be bad luck or frustrating to get to.

As George Constanta would say “It’s shrinkage!”
