Good morning,
Can you please post a picture of the tubes for me to see?
There are tubes on the steering gear and there are pressure lines that attach to the steering gear as well. I need to know which ones.

The second picture is more on point for the failure. That is a return line assembly.

The part is attached from Rock Auto. That price could vary from $60.00 to $200.00 depending on the line selected.
The labor is 1 hour or about 1250-150.
