Power steering line

I have been reading all these posts about people that took off their power steering. I am looking for a Line! The Fatter Return line that goes all the way up from below and into a reducer and screws into the pump. I finally tracked down a leak on a car I just bought a 1986 RX-7 GXL. It is leaking out right at the end where the end is swaged onto the elbow type fitting.
Anyone have one just collecting dust?

After further inspection I am noticing an elbow that screws into the pump by the resivoir. it goes into a clamp and is swaged into the hose.
This is the larger power steering line so I'm thinking its the return line. Is this mega high pressure?
I was thinking I could take off the line and cut the elbow with a hacksaw and clamp the hose back onto it.
Its just leaking through a cut in the hose skin. All I want to do is stop the leak.
