i have a 1996 camry. My PS hose is leaking. its the hose coming from the PS resivor to wherever....im not sure where it goes. I followed it until i could see it anymore, (down into the engine bay) I also seem to be having some sort of oil residue by the headers...im thinking taht could be from the power steering fluid....any thoughts? also, could i jsut replace that hose and everything will be ok?

Check if the level of your resivoir to see if it is lower than usual. That will help to identify if the leak is from there. Wipe off/degrease the hose that you are thinking about replacing as well as the "residue" by the headers and check again in a few days to see if it comes back. If the level is lower again, the hose is oily and the residue is back, you will know that that is the source not some other oil leak nearby. Good luck.
