Howdy!

Newer owner & first time poster. I purchased my 16 LR4 HSE back in January and have put just under 5k miles on it. While changing the oil at 3k, I noticed a leak in the power steering line near the "U" turn on the passenger side of the steering gear. Then on a recent road trip I noticed the volume in the reservoir was approaching the minnum line. Reading the service manual, i'm confident i'll be able to complete the job myself. But I do have a few questions and I'm hoping to recive some assistance. I'm planning to do this job durring the next oil change

Are there other jobs i should do while in there?
Any tips or tricks on removing the lines and fluid?
Any special tools that are nice to have?
Is this the correct pressure line? (https://parts.landrovercary.com/oem...SQ4_8LUBOHWS9mm1LMUxp4qxYyYR_kt-zFnE_jW5QgRcr)

Please see the pictures below, and thank you for reading!

Nice rig. How is your project going? I have a seeping leak, not dripping so I'm planning to replace one of the fluid lines but it doesn't look like that one. The way I verified the correct pressure line was by matching the path of the tube I need to replace in the future to the available pressure lines from Land Rover.

Greetings and I hope all is well.

I am rebuilding my power steering system and wondering how your project is going and if you have any lessons learned.

The Attached photo is what the hoses and all looked like when we were tearing down the engine and whatnot (so we had pulled out the entire front end including bumper, grill & assembly, radiator, condenser, etc).
