I have a couple of problems since i started my Stealth a few days ago. They seem to be easy fixes but I'm at a loss on how to go about doing it.

First one was a power steering leak, The hose its coming from is the one on the side of the power steering reservoir that sticks up but I have no idea where it goes, I've been searching for a while now. Here are pics.

My second problem is a fuel leak, I know where its coming from I just need to know how to fix it.

That pic is showing where the hard metal fuel line to the bottom of the filter was cut, the only thing I could think of to fix the cut line was a piece of rubber hose clamped down but it still leaks. Any suggestions will result in +rep

My other problem is that once the car is started there is some gray smoke and a strong smell of fuel although I'm sure my fuel leak had something to do with the smell. Is this normal for a freshly rebuilt motor. I will not be running the car until I fix these problem. Also I apologize for the shitty pics, My camera is about to bite the dust and I don't really want to buy a new one right away.

Does one of the hoses run a supply to the rack, but its behind the engine? and one is a return from the pump I was thinkin i read that somewhere.

A fuel hose would probably not leak, but since thats a vacuum hose we were using it probably rotted and cracked with the fuel, and to probably put some TIGHT TIGHT clamps on there. Or have someone brase the line back together.
