Yes, There is a little metal connector that goes there that is in the shape of a L
I recently replaced it and the old one ripped so I got one that was 1 size smaller of a hose. Would this effect it that bad?

If that hose were not connected or severely clogged it would cause these issues, yes.

The other place to look is your PCV valve. That might be stuck closed.

It was kinked because the hose is too small.. Went and got another one so I'll have to try it out

Cleaned everything up, went for a drive and noticed a weird feeling in the steering wheel... Felt a little loose.... So I get back and as i'm parking I start hearing the nasty stupid stinkin wine from the power steering.. The sound when the fluid is low.. So I check it and yep that things LOW.. Now I found my leak.. I checked that first too... I guess what it does is splash the hood to the front of the engine.. I thought it looked a little too clean to be the engine oil since the oil in the engine was basically black... Now I'm going to do one of 3 things... Fix the power steering, take out the power steering or grab a sledge hammer and see just how much of a beating this car can take....

Edit: What's the HP gain of not having PS? My previous car (94 eclipse) didn't have PS and it was a little hard at a stop but then again that gives me another reason to not let people drive my car besides my bro LOL.

Open hose and gutted pump.... Please explain? How difficult is it to do that / what needs to be done?

I would recommend you keep the P/S system. It really is not that hard to fix the leaks so they don't ever happen again. Where exactly is the leak coming from?

I have yet to find that out but I believe its the high pressure hose... Would be the only way to explain it flying everywhere haha.. I'll go check it by turning the wheel and be back..
