yea that high pressure hose just get a new one. one bolt holds it to the pump and one nut holds it to the rack. in thoery its really simple but just make sure to wear some mechanix gloves or you will be giving some blood. also get a 30 back of beer cause it will help when you get frustrated. dont be afraid to unhook that sway bar a little.

RE: 89 lxi oil leaks

I had a slow engine oil leak from my accord and It seemed like it was coming from the valve cover. It actually was coming from the distributor, so I just replaced the o-ring and that fixed my oil leak. It's worth a check.
