Thanks! for both.
Actually, stretch, While it was good preventative maintenance to replace the Original Hoses (stamped 82 ) I think the main culprit for the leaks was the power steering pump return hose, which was too messy a job to do in my parents nice garage. A small disappointment but they are so cheap and easy to fix I am not that upset about it, Trannys are expensive.

Ill be swapping that hose out next, after draining all the fluid and replacing the filter of course. Official replacement hose is the big one visible in the parts photo.
