Rebuild the pump while you are in there, reseal kit is about $4 and will take maybe 30 minutes if it is your first time. Most of the leakage on that style pump is from the top reservoir to the main body. Unbolt the pulley and replace the seals up front.
Replacing the old low pressure hose is easy. Remove it, compare to new, cut to length, install...
You are really over thinking the situation.
