Default power steering leak.

Attached are a couple of images of a small weep/leak from the pressure pipe of my power steering on my 2014 V70 D5. It was discovered by chance and I have not noticed any other issue.
In order to cure the problem do I have to replace the pipe, or can the lower joint be re-crimped, ( is there a special tool ?) or even fit a jubilee clip. A 4th option would be to live with this very minor irritation, as I don't know how long this weeping has been occurring.
Comments and suggestions welcome.

Cheers
Bob.

Edit: Images should be rotated 90 deg clockwise.

The leak is definitely coming from the hose and not being dripped on from above?

Had another good look around the area again today and can say with reasonable certainty that the weep is from the hose and is not dripping from above.
Additional research has high lighted that a Jubilee clip is a "no go". Others have tried and failed - ( to do with it being a high pressure system, although some have reported success on the "return" leg)
Consensus from around other forums seems to suggest either renewing whole pipe run, or as you have to remove old pipe to renew, taking said removed pipe to a hydraulic engineer for them to repair. I only have a minor weep, so unless things change, this is a job for warmer times.

Cheers
Bob
