Power Steering Hose
Probably, you have to find out shop (A/C hose etc) in your area where they do repair or make a hydraulic hose if you didn't find new. Maybe you can find recycle parts from audi dismantle place.

Hose between the pump and the rack is the pressure one for the power steering system.
Hose between the rack and the oil reservoir is the return line for power steering.
Hose between the reservoir and the pump is the supply line to the pump.
Hose between the pump and the "bomb" is the pressure line for the power brake system. Hose between the bomb and the brake booster is the rest of the pressure line.
Hose between the brake booster and the reservoir is the return line for the brake system.

A manual transmission.
The slushbox is the weak point.
That said, if it shifts smoothly WHEN FULLY WARMED UP, restarts when the engine is hot, steers and brakes smoothly and doesn't leave an oil spot, then it probably has been maintained well. If you have service records indicating when the timing belt was replaced last, you know when that $1K service needs repeating.

If the current owner thought it was ok to even try and use a hose clamp and a piece of steel tube, run. As if that was OK, what other 1/2 A$$ed fixes have been tried.. Like in the picture with the Ebrake full on, 90% chance of those cables being stuck or the caliper not releaseing.

I am probably going to get this car for $1000, with 76K original miles. The owner got the car from his dad, mentioning he has never had an issue with it until the power steering leak. The kid really doesn't know what he has. After checking the V8 out, it appears it needs rear calipers, brake hoses, rotors and the power steering hose.

From what I gathered talking to the owner, he had a small leak adding fluid to the resv. frequently.
He also went on to say that he has had no transmission or any other issues with the car.
