Hydraulic hose burst under pump, need help identifying part

Hey everyone,

I just got this 05 SL500 and both left wheels were sagging. Hydraulic reservoir was bone dry so I added a quart of fluid, fired her up and got a big squirt right under the pump. Spent a few days removing the pump and realized it looked good, so I went further and found a burst hose. It goes from the side of the valve block (the one towards the rear out of the 2) and it continues into the center of the car behind the wheel, being the top one out of the 3. I have been looking at epc diagrams but can't really tell which one I'd need - plus I'm hoping this part can be swapped without having to pull apart the whole car. Please advise! Thanks

Can you identify which hose that is from this drawing?

If you have a 2005 you have the first generation ABC system, yet you appear to have the second generation ABC valve blocks, which are an improvement apparently but can't be rebuilt by the home DIY, as far as I know.
