Months ago I decided to change the big rubber power steering hose that goes from the reservoir to the pump with a brand new hose Gates brand, but It started to leak and not from the ends where the hose clamps go but it would leak like it was sweating? I kept wiping it down every couple of days to see if there was an actual hole but it would just sweat. I then purchased another hose thinking there must be a defect in it and now the new hose does the same thing??

Is there a special rubber hose that doesn't have pours or something? I called nissan but they only show the part listing for the hard lines not the rubber ones and the local autopart store doesn't show any special hose to replace it.

Basically WHERE DO I FIND THIS SPECIAL MADE RUBBER HOSE AT?? Thanks anyone who knows,
