Welcome to AF!!
Remove the old hose, replace it with a new one, bleed the system by filling the reservior with fluid and starting the car to catch the fluid. Once you have a good stream, stop the engine and reattach the line to the pump. Add more fluid to top it off and you should be fine. Check the fluid for a couple of days to keep level correct.
