Only one return hose. Are you describing the line from the reservoir to pump or the line from rack to pump? The line from rack to pump has a foam sleeve but it's about a foot long. On your later 900. you may have an in-line filter on the hose from pump to reservoir. The hose clamps at the filter can leak. The whole area is likely filthy, making it hard to diagnose. The low pressure hose (with just hose clamps) from reservoir to pump is a common leaker - especially at the pump. The hose with the sleeve has pressure fittings between metal ends and the intermediate hose. These fittings can also leak. Power steering fluid can really find it's way out, so your best bet is to get under the car and clean the entire area. Then you can look for new drips. Keep in mind that the inner driver boot can throw alot of crap around the area too.
