Finished the fix today.

It was the hose that runs from the power steering pump on the engine to the steering gear at the front of the coach. Cut ends off damaged line and left the old hose in place. O.E.M. hose is 405 inches and about $300.00 from dealer. Impossible to run in original position. Ran where I could (as advised by Freightliner rep). Needed 480 inches. Had hose made at local hose shop for about $200.00. Took about 3 hours to install and secure line. Fill reservoir is in engine compartment. Plastic bottle labeled "use Dextron III" It also has MAX & MIN markings on left side to monitor level. Took about 5 1/2 quarts to refill.
