Default 2006 convertible top hydraulic line leaking

Looking at the pump in the trunk, there are two lines left of the little T-handle that releases pressure. They are in a vertical line with each other. The bottom line is leaking at the fitting.

The parts guy says diagrams don't show which line is which so I need to disassemble the car and tell him which line I need. Does anyone know which line is the lower one?

I really don't have any interest in taking the car apart while waiting and hoping I can get a line.

If you are replacing the hoses to the latch, replace them both. They are the two hoses on the same side of the pump at the petcock.

Sorry but you are not the first to think that including Jaguar and all have failed miserably. If you try I wish you luck.

Exact same thing three days after I bought my car. And when we replaced the hoses, we found past repairs on both hoses on both ends!!
