Power steering leak, no fluid...what will this do? 200 1988

One of the lines on my steering rack is leaking from the fitting. The hoses should both really be replaced but I can't seem to track down the hoses I need.

Can you buy just the hoses on the rack? Or do you need to replace the rack? The only hoses on FCP is the pump to rack hose, and the low pressure return hose.

If it were leaking from the hose I would just slip some high pressure line over it and put some hose clamps on...but the fittings are the culprits I believe.

So in the end, since the Volvo was gifted to me, and I don't want to put a 300 dollar rack on it, I was entertaining the thought of taking off my PS pump hose and running the car as is.

If anyone knows a cheap alternative to find some new hoses for the rack I would appreciated the advice. Have also heard of people running into the problem of the new hoses having wrong fittings.
