Power Steering grinding/leaking (more) (archive)

Hello again!

Well, I have the coolant in and the engine running perfectly, but now the power steering makes an ugly grinding noise when turning left/right. Found resevoir low and topped up and grinding lessened, but remains nevertheless. I also found a heavily leaking low pressure line from the resevoir to the pump and looks like it's the original factory pressed clamp. Obviously, I will replace the hose, but is my pump toast? Also, can I get some hose replacement tips - anyone??
