I typically park the car with the front end pointing downhill. Last night, I just happened to park it with the front facing uphill. Perhaps that caused extra strain and caused the hose to pop? I was just hoping a major seal did not blow out of the rack or sector.
Where in the world can I buy this hose, if it is indeed the hose?

For comparison pricing try **************. $87.19 for high pressure and $20.70 for return hose. Power steering filter was $5.28. Free shipping to your door on orders over $50. I got the rebuilt box from Carsteering.com. Found them on Ebay and won a bid of $299.00 plus $150.00 core deposit.
Also free shipping. I replaced both powersteering hoses, and power steering filter when I put in a rebuilt steering box. I have a 1984 500SEC and the box was the cause of my leaks.
If you plan to sell the car,and do not want to fix it, you can just negotiate a price for the car less the repair. Hopefully a DIY person will buy it.
Good luck
