PS leak. What line is this? Part #?

Have a pretty significant power steering leak that has gotten worse. It seems this metal line has rusted and rubbed against the brace which has caused the leak. What line is this? It seems to snake down and around the undercarriage and back up. You can see the leak actively occurring -- small puddle after only a few minutes. Anyone have a part number? Hard to replace?

I intend to fix this and then put the car up for sale. It's pretty clean otherwise.

trace it to the pump, the line with a line nut is the high pressure line, the one with a rubber end with a clamp is the return line.


id cut that line and put a compression fitting on it in a heartbeat. but thats me lol
 
I need to put a bandaid on this tomorrow (Memorial Day) because I need to drive the car to the airport on Tuesday, returning Friday. By then the actual correct part will be at the house.

I think by fumbling with it today I made the leak worse, lol. So tomorrow I'll try to cut the pipe and slide on some 3/8 fuel hose and secure with some clamps, which I have in my garage. If that doesn't work, I may be out of luck and taking my Cobra to the airport (ugh) instead.
