Would I have read about this connector is that inside that part it also has an o-ring (or two?) sealing the pipe. Then this adapter is 'crimped' onto the pipe. It seems like this crimping is not effective anymore.

Uhh, that's no good (This means you will need a new hose..) :-(
A while ago (on my 987CS) I installed an external cooling radiator for the power steering, using the the high pressure connectors that plugs into the rack, cut the metal pipes off and took them to a machine shop to weld an AN fittings to them (where your red arrow is), then used standard AN fittings to plug the lines into the hoses that runs towards the rear of the car. Hopefully my explanation makes sense.
