AWS leak - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

Well, my first age related repair on the VR-4 happened. I was figuring something under the car was going to fail cause I was seeing alot of rusted lines. If anyone has access to CAPS, can you check something for me? My hard line is rusted and leaking. Its the one attached to the back of the rear steering pump that looks like it has a flange on the pump that is sort of shaped like the EGR gasket and a short hard line coming off of it connected to a clamped rubber hose (low pressure hose?). Is that line part of the pump or a separate part? I have a bad feeling it comes with the pump which is a $550 part but I will buy it if I have to since I like AWS.

Solution ! I got a few PMs back locating from part-out threads. I took a good look and I am going to pull the subframe and do a resto of the AWS sub-frame. Mitsu still sells the lines and hoses still and that part shown is MR491409, the hose is MB631712 and clamps are MF661010. It looks like a mess back there but its actually very well thought out and the subframe appears to be held on by 4-bolts, the driveshaft, two steering lines, 4 brake lines and cat back hangars. I think I can even leave the tires on it.

Yep, you can leave the tires on, I just pulled the rear subframe on my car not too long ago to remove the aws and do some other stuff back there.
Heres a pic of how I pulled it:
