No, there is a short lenght of rubber hose. It will be near rack union
to contol valve. The pump is on the engine which is rubber mounted,

far end of rack are metal with unions. You need to check those unions.
If the rack is leaking from ends or the control valve steering column
seal then one from a scrap yard would be cheapest option.
