okay there are two tubings coming from the PS reserve... One leading to the power steering pump and the other one going some where else.. the Tube # 2 is the one that is covered with the "sap" like gunk... Im also trying to take off the stock clamps how would i be able to do that..???

one hose goes to the power steering rack, the other one comes back from the PS rack. i have a slow leak from the same hose, the clamps are crappy. its a common problem. just cut the clamps off and replace them with better ones.
