Replaced the other hose.
Thanks for the info LEXUSver. 
I just wanted to let all you guys know that the other old factory hose started leaking on me(wished I would have replaced both at same time initially) This time it cost me $75 bucks for the replacement from the same place.
This time I bought new double washers from the dealer so here is part number for those who need it. 44327-30040
So I would recommend that both hoses be replaced at the same time since chances are that if one hose is leaking, the other will end up leaking sooner or later, like it did for me.

This is exactly what I needed. I agree with Kobe54. Look up power steering hose and you will see that it cost 400 - 600... This way saves you alot of money and with out replacing the power pump

Has anyone made their own PS hose similar to the Driftmotion one? I would just buy theirs but I have a Soarer and it says that it won't work on RHD cars, so I want to make my own using Aeroquip hose/fittings.
I need to know what the fittings are and if it's -6AN or -8AN.
Thanks to whoever answers this question!

Bumping this up...So I doubt Lexus will send out my lines to be re-built and the leak is EXTREMELY bad. Does that Toyota Supra autozone option work? I'd hate to pay the +700 amount that the dealer is currently quoting me. I'd love to rebuild it, but since she is my daily driver that is very difficult to accomplish...or am I missing something?

Proper recognition to Luxor for an awesome write up. I personally did nearly the exact same repair about a year ago without the benifit of this superb write up. You nailed it. btw, my out the door cost after a 20 minute wait was $38.27 at http://www.rbisj.com/ in San Jose, CA.
About the driftmotion part.... The photo of this part shows 90 degree elbow bends on each side. That would not have worked at all on my SC300 and it does not look anything like the pictures in Luxor's "How-To". So that leads to me to question if anyone has actually used this part to repair or replace? I don't see how it would fit.

Excellent post...great pix. Here's my problem: had my leaky line on my SC300 repaired at a local hyd shop and reinstalled it. Refilled the reservoir and started it. No leaks BUT the pump is now very noisy [a loud moaning sound like low fluid] and a humming vibration can be felt in the steering wheel. Turning the wheel or just driving the car [I put 10 miles of hi & low speed driving on it] does not improve the problem. Could the cause be trapped air? Should I loosen the lower banjo bolt to physically bleed the line?
