The pipe from the reservoir to the power steering pump has sprung a leak. When I replace it do I use aluminium crush washers for the banjo joint?

After a couple of attempts at curing my leak several years ago, somebody on the zone advised using dowty washers. These are washers with a rubber insert at the centre, needless to say it did the trick. I cant remember the size though, you would have to measure your existing washer.
