Power steering leaked out

Hello, I have a 2006 Cadillac STS V6 with 120k milage. I recently went to turn and the power steering went out. When I looked under the hood what looked like part of the hose had came out from the pump and let the fluid out. Can I tighten the part back in or does the pump/hose need to be replaced. I do have a picture of the exact part also just not sure if I can upload to this forum?

If it is a threaded fitting, see if you can tighten it back up.  If it's retained by a clamp, reattach and tighten the clamp.  Then refill the reservoir and bleed air from the system.  If the hose is compromised, it needs to be replaced with new.

If the pump worked dry, you may need to get a new one. 


Great point @yaser!
