Default Power steering line help!

While putting a pitman arm on my truck yesterday, I unbolted the steering box and must have moved it too far, I broke a PS line. One end of the line went to a metal nipple in the back of the PS pump, it was clamped on. Where does the other end go? The power steering box Im assuming? Is this a low pressure line? Does this line go through the hydroboost at all? Diagrams are much appreciated! Thanks!

Is the rubber molded with the metal, or is it clamped on?

Clamped. There is a metal nipple that comes out of the pump. It appears to be pressed into the back of it. That is what the hose clamps to.

If its clamped together then its gonna be the return line. The pressure hose that goes from the pump to the box is all molded

Does this hose go from the box to the pump? Or from the pump to the hydroboost? I only found one end of the broken line, I have no idea where the other is. Although im guessing its sticking out of the box. I cant quite find it.

Might go to a cooler line that loops on the front of the crossmember
