Power steering leak

Hello all! My pressure line from the powersteering pump to the steering gear is leaking at the inlet on the steering gear. I have a new steering gear, could the problem be with the line? I think its a flared fitting, so no o-ring.

The pressure line IS a flare fitting going into the steering box. Probably cracked. New lines are available from auto parts stores.

Interesting new twist! After much debate with every partsstore in McDonough, I've found out by the P/N on the line that it was originally on a 460... I'm guessing I also have a 460 pump, because the line that was supposed to fit didn't come close. Are these pumps/lines interchangable between the big gassers and my old oilburner?
