If the metal part is leaking, cut out the split portion with a tube cutter then use a piece of hose and hose clamps to bridge the gap. If you want to, put 2 clamps on each end for security. If its is a hose connection or a hose, cut the crimp connector off with a hacksaw, sawing diagonally on the connector. Don't saw into the metal pipe. Then use a piece of hose again and hose clamps as above. Hose should fit snugly over pipe and ONLY use hose for Power steering or transmission, no fuel hose or vacuum hose. Parts people should know what to sell you. Tighten every thing down, run the engine and check for leaks, top up tranny fluid and take your best girl to town. HTH Alex
