Okay, so this time the hose is fucked up, not the pump itself. The pressure fitting that goes into the top of the power steering pump is spewing fluid so i know what i need to replace.
My concern is this:
The ones from autozone or advance dont have a spot for the pressure switch to hook into. it should look like this:

but the ones from advance and autozone look like this:
