It wasn't too bad a leak, so I got away with using some "Right Stuff",RTV?, after spaying down the area to get rid of all traces of oil and sealing up the connection. I was lucky, because a regular Ford dealer price for the hose is $150.00, plus you have to drop the Front Sub Frame to install it, according to my Factory Service Manual. Good Luck. Ed
