The leak appears to be coming from the top of the hose where it comes from the bigger hose. Does this mean that i just need a new crimp? Is it easy to change myself?

its hard to fix a leak,especially if its the pressure hose.now if its a by-pass hose,just get a piece of gas hose and replace it.but a pressure hose,you need a new 1 of those.

It's time to replace the PS hoses. Sometimes the hose will break down and bleed fluid through the hose. That's what I'd do.

Yep you can do this yourself. Go to a parts store and get the hoses and some power steering fluid. Changing them is pretty easy.

You need new hose. The mere fact that its leaking means that the old hose is cracking and has weakened. Dont attempt to recrimp since you will just make it worse. Bring it to a repair shop while it still works.
