So I think I need to pony up for a new pressure hose and a ps pump now.
It's one of those Fd up situations where if I tightened the top of pressure hose (near the ps pump) there really wasnt room to get it in/ manuver the bottom side (by the ps rack) into its position without crossthreading it. So I eventually got it in the bottom, and thought I was in the clear, when putting it in up top -had to hold the hose with bolt in the end of ratchet level - against
Id guess 25lbs of resistance from lacking slack, and while I thought it was looking level about half way in, but a couple of threads later, felt that it wasn't. I backed it out, but the bolt is steel, and ps pumps threads aluminum, so you can guess what happened. A couple of the threads right nearest the edge of the bolt hile were chewed away, so I cleaned it all out, and tried to reposition the bolt and reinstall... It went in level this time, and the washer appeared to be tightly sealed around the hole and installed...

Long story short the rack was leaking at the hose top and weeping at the bottom though seemingly all done and bolted in.
Third times the charm they say....
I wonder if I got a new pump and new pressure hose, maybe if I had drained coolant, and removed radiator and lower coolant hose, if it would have made install way easier, maybe coming in the front?
I think next time out I will switch gears and bleed the brakes, just to get some accomplishment and clear my mind of this.
Also just paid registeration and went down to DMV yesterday, and shes insured, so once I get her back together , with no leaks, and bled, I will pay for alignment, and then be riding.
I still have some more off road/upgrade parts to buy, and have to get bumper attached firmly, but getting closer..
