    Hey Guys, I have a 03' Taco TRD Prerunner Ext. cab that I bought new. Has no mod's and used very little off road. A few years ago it started leaking a small amount of PS fluid ( none on the ground, just all over the engine compartment :( ) I added some stop leak and that worked for several years. Well now it's leaking again and does make a 3'' or so spot on the ground. I just topped off with some Lucas stop leak but it's not working ( maybe I could not add enough to the reservoir to help ). I cleaned the engine comp. with degreaser and the best I can tell is it's leaking at the bottom of the reservoir and the top of the pump.
    Is there a gasket I can replace?
    Is this a common problem?

    Any thoughs or ideas would be great. THANKS

    I would inspect it to see if the shaft seal is leaking. I have seen a couple of those. If not, check the high pressure hose to be sure it is tight, and the compression fitting.
