Is this Pressure hose or return?

[Oliver123]

Hey guys, Complete noob here, my 2013 Genesis 3.8L sedan (w/o EHPS) has power steering fluid leak & i circled in picture where the leak's coming from and its spraying everywhere.

My question is if this is the pressure hose or return hose? Or does it not matter & i have to buy assembly to replace both anyway? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, can i just get it welded or replacing is the only solution?

Not to sure. You should replace it. Maybe both of them? Also hit the underneath of your car with some fluid film or wd40 slow that rust .

Generally, if the line has a clamp (like the one on the other line), it is the low pressure (return) side. In this case, that would make the other line (the one I think you are asking about) the high pressure line.
As mentioned, I think I would replace both at this time as they are probably in similar shape.
