68 Charger Power steering return hose

[Bob Sawyer]

Installed a new date coded power steering return hose, purchased from Classic Industries about 2 years ago.
After a couple start ups moving the car in and out of the garage, I noticed the new hose had beads of oil which looked like condensation all over it. This happened several times over a month or so. It appears to be seeping oil from the inside out.
I contacted Classic Industries and they have not heard of this. They sent me another hose and I plan to install it tomorrow.
Has anyone run into this problem before? I'm hoping it is just a bad hose.

Should be a bad hose. I got mine from Megaparts and mine has yet to leak after a few months of use. Dry as a bone.

I had one do exactly the same thing. I just fitted oil cooler hose and put the date coded junk in the bin.

That's a common problem with the repop date coded hoses.

Mine did the same thing. Junk
