Power Steering Reservoir.
Where is it leaking from? The reservoir itself?
The fitments on the bottom of the reservoir?
Where the reservoir lines meet the PS pump?

yea, tighten it up and see if that does the trick. If not, there may be a small hole in the hose somewhere, and thus you will need to get a new piece of hose.
Good Luck!

If tightening the hose up doesnt work, i recommend going to your nearest auto parts store and picking up Gunk power steering fluid. This is designed to help stop the leak in the hoses or wherever the fluid may be leaking from. It definately worked for me!

I put new hose clamps on mine and fixed one hose, then had to repeat a few months later on the other hose. If you have to take the hose off, be sure to bleed the PS system. You'll be surprised how well the system works when it doesn't leak the the PS belt isn't slipping. Ask me how I know, I had to fix the PS pump tensioner, rebuild the PS pump, and fix both those hoses.

If you need to replace the Return hose that is part Rubber, and Part Metal Tubing, you can get some Universal Power Steering Line from Napa.
Check 1984 Ford F-250, 7.5L V8. Part number is: 71899
I could have sworn I was quoted over $100 for the factory line, though DCAuto shows it as $45 if needed.
