Recently noticed my 2000 Disco 2 losing p/s fluid. Topped it of to max line, and no leak, but as soon as I shut the engine down I noticed a constant drip coming from what I believe is the p/s suction hose. I added a bottle of Lucas leak stop, and let the vehicle idle with no fluid loss, however once I turned the vehicle off the fluid did leak out. Could it be a bad hose? Thanks in advance.

It has a union at the PS pump end and a compression clip at the reservoir bottle end, dump this clip for a jubilee clip. (I'm talking TD5 and assume the V8 is the same)

yep. that's what I do, too. no easy task getting to it to tighten, but after you get the right orientation and angle it is doable

I just turn my wheels from full lock to full lock a few times with engine running and cap off the reservoir. Just be sure not to hold wheels at full lock.
I would check the hose after a few days diving to make sure it is still dry. I have replaced that hose only to find the original leak was from the pump running down onto the hose making it appear to be the leak.
