Power steering slow leak

I recently checked my power steering reservoir and the fluid was low. So i checked both boots for fluid and there seems to be some fluid on or in the passenger side boot. Should i take it to the dealer for them to look at and possibly fix if its still within warranty?

 

No, I'd bring it in once the warranty runs out.

 

3 year runs out feb 8th. Is that considered part of the power train warranty?

 

Fluid in the steering rack boots means the seal(s) has failed or is failing...if you're under warranty then definitely take it in.

Those boots are there to keep dirt and debris out of the rack and inner tie rods, the seals are what keeps the fluid in. If fluid is in the boots then the seals are compromised and the steering rack is on borrowed time

 

The power train warranty is longer. Read your books in the glove box.

 

Yeah i know its longer i was just asking if that’s covered under the general warranty or powertrain

 

What's with the "my Tacoma is falling apart" threads lately? I bet these are Nissan, Ford, jeep insiders. Everyone knows Tacomas don't break down, ever.

 

Especially not 2nd gens.

Maybe i just shouldnt check things and then itll run forever right?

 

Checking is fine, just don't bring it in to the dealer until after the warranty is up.

 

Why wait until after though? Wouldnt i have to pay then? Or just wait till power train is almost up?

 

OMG. poster is being facetious, get it to the dealer before it runs out, geez!

 

Whhhhaaaattttttt? You mean we should bring our trucks in while under warranty for issues?

 

Ill just drive around until i cant steer and get a new truck for free.

 

They don't. Mine's been on the tow truck ever since i got it

Don't lie. Warranties don't exist

 

This will work 1000% of the time

 

I mean there might be a small trip to the hospital but maybe theyll let me pick a green trd pro out
