Hi. Im looking for some advice. My power steering cooling pipe is rotten and leaks. Has anybody bypassed it completely or know of a supplier for a new one? Thanks

Just do away with it

That’s what I’ve done, simple job

Okay cool. How long have you run it that way?

If you did decide to replace it, I know a small company who would be able to make a new one for you. He'd need to reuse the fittings, and have the old pipe as a pattern.

When it happened to me I simply connected the return pipe to the other side of the reservoir, not quite as easy as it sounds though.
Also, I was surprised at how hot the system runs , so be careful.
The very position of the cooling pipe makes it a 'big' job to get access to replace it.
My intention was to replace it with 10mm copper but "events dear boy" overtook me and 'Canesplitter' bought the car ( since sold on but still on the road I see ).

There came off one of my breakers.
