Power Steering Line Help

I have a power steering line that is leaking pretty bad and has to be replaced. I'm putting a bottle of power steering fluid in it per day. It's the metal line. Does anyone have a layout of the line or a part's list? From what I hear it's an expensive part. I'm trying to figure out which line it is (return line or high pressure line). Does anyone have a writeup on how to replace the line?

Also, do I have to use power steering fluid ($2 a bottle) or can I use something cheaper?

If you PM me your VIN, I can send you a parts daigram and probably tell you which hose it is. I just need to know where it goes to and from. I.e. Pump to rack, or reservoir to pump, etc.

You are supposed to use Dex III ATF.
