Replacing power steering lines

I want to clean the exterior of the lines to make sure they are not still seeping. Would a solution of simple green do the trick?

I had the same problem with my PS hoses. Try this first before changing the hoses.
Put rags around both hoses close to the PS fluid tank; leave enough room to get to the old clamps.
Remove the old clamps but be careful not to damage the hose. I used wire cutters and plyers.
After the old clamps are removed, install new screw type hose clamps ( any auto parts store has them )
Tighten up the new clamps but don't overtighten as to not damage the hose.
With a clean rag, wipe the hoses until they look clean and not moist.
Start up the car and see if you have any leaking fluid at these connections; once warm you can tighten the clamp just alittle more.
If no leaks appear, now look at the lower connections to see if they are moist or leaking.
If they are leaking, change the clamps as you did on the top hoses.
Last but not the least, check your fluid level.
Remember, you can only use Pentosin Power Steering Fluid CHF 11 S
I hope just new clamps corrects the problem.
