Re: 1997 cavi 2.4 RS Convertable power steering issue?!?!?
Welcome to AF. Please look at the date of the last post before replying.
The reason for that "foot" is to cool the power steering fluid a bit before it returns to the pump. It doesn't do much, but it does drop the temp a bit and makes the fluid last longer.
Stop driving your car now. Before you drive it again, remove your "patch" and flare both lines with a bubble flaring tool. That hose will pull off one side or the other, which will run the pump dry, and will destroy the pump and send metal fragments throughout the system.
