ML 320, 430 p/s leak. dealer techs wanted.

Hey what's the latest fix for the M/L power steeering cooler hose popping off the radiator tank.

Are they allowing you to blow compressed air into the cooler to try to evacuate any metal slurry, or are they making you replace the radiator entirely if the cooler tank on the radiator clogs from a worn pump and keeps blowing the cooler hose off that attaches to the p/s pump?

ML-320 and 430 both do the same thing.

I have reattached the hoses and got away with the fix because the hose was just gummed up and lost material at the fitting, but sometimes the cooler in the side of the radiator plugs up, and the p's pump bearing goes and the cooler gets clogged, then you replace the pump thinking that you fixed the problem due to a bad pump, but the new pump whines forever just like the old pump and the cooler hose keeps popping off the radiator.

I just wanted to know what the dealer fix is for this.
