Power steering ?

Why is this happening to this part 3500 miles !I just wondering will it start to leak at some point ?

 

After it rusts enough it should start leaking.

 

Salt on the roads already maybe? Not washing some that got on it last winter?

 

It looks like when it was tightened the coating was violated and now has rusted. Not sure I'd really worry about the fitting itself beginning to leak.
My 2013 Ram rusted so badly under the hood it looked 20yrs old. Even underneath at 10,000 miles you'd think it had 100k on it.

Good quality.

 

Truck never been driven in snow I don't think we got any last year not one other thing under the hood rusted accept that power steering piece

 

Clean as a whistle

 

Hit it with fluid film and forget it!

 

Yes, they all do at some point.

 

I'm not to worried about just gave some one a jump and I saw it and didn't have any clue about why it is like that

 

Ummmm where's the rest of your engine?? Something is missing... it looks a lot smaller than mine does! Just sayin...

Oh and that shit will buff out...

 

I have the same situation with my truck

 

The rest of his engine probably came off with the dipstick!!!



Seriously, just hit it with some fluid film and call it a day.

 

I would point it out at your next service interval. While I doubt it's more than superficial if you can get them to replace it than you should. But given that it looks like you could eat off the rest of the engine bay, they shouldn't give you to much shit. If they won't replace I say that you fluid film and crack a beer as the others suggest.

 

Damn I thought toyota only used plastic resi's

 

Stopped using resi's when they found out they didn't rust at the same rate as the frames. Consistency in a product is important to the marketing team.

 

Don't think it'll cause a leak for about 5 dozen years. Just look shitty. Looks like surface rust. As someone said before, like they broke the paint coating at assembly.

 

By the time it could cause a leak (if it ever does), you should be on your third or fourth vehicle...

 

You can use this stuff to help with corrosion and help prevent new corrosion development.
