Hi I have a Porsche 944 2.5 1988 and the hose that goes to the power steering pump from the resovior is leaking and I have bought a new one fo I have to bleed the system when I have changed it or do I just clamp the pipe to stop fluid leak and replace the old one and away I go

Normally worth dumping all the fluid & then replacing. When refilling top off the reservoir then turn lock to lock (jacked up) & keep topping until you are at the mark.

Thanks for that so no bleeding at all and I take it the engine needs to be running
