3.0 power steering hoses

Anybody have an exploded view of the powersteering pump/hoses for a 04 3.0? I have a leak in a hose, but I'm not sure which one. I know it's not the pressure hose to the rack, but I'm not sure what the other ones do.

The other hoses go to the power steering cooler which is located in front bottom of the radiator, a little U pipe SEE PIC http://images31.fotki.com/v1040/phot...SC00003-vi.jpg Its possible one of the hoses/clamps going to/from teh cooler to the reservoir are bad.

if it was a pressure hose you'd have alot of fluid... compared to a little fluid

Any hole in a hose would probably drain your system. Several hundred to even a few thousand pounds of pressure are in steering systems.. That allows for small holes to become huge exits.
