Power Steering Fluid Leak From Reservoir Hose

Went to get my last free maintenance and they recommended replacing my oil reservoir hose. I'm new at learning to fix things on my car on my own. Want to make sure this is something I should be doing. Here are the parts they recommended:
2 hose clips #90080-46356
1 oil reservoir hose #443348-04030
1 o-ring #90301-11020

If any one has advice or links to a good step by step website or video on how to do this myself it would be appreciated. I'm not exactly sure what needs to be done based on their word choice. Also wondering if there are any other helpful tools or parts I should get.

Thanks

 

It kind of looks like oil is caking everywhere around the lookers left side underneath around the power steering fluid reservoir and below. So I could take a picture of that but I don't know if I can distinguish the leak. The guy who I was trying to sell to, pointed it out and said it looked like engine oil not power steering fluid, which now confuses me.

 

If the factory PS fluid is still in there, it could look like engine oil. If its ever been replaced, its likely red ATF

Best to wash the whole area down with degreaser and then see where the leak re-appears.

 

Curious about what yr. your truck is. This is a 2nd Gen forum - last yr. for that truck was 2015.

 

I was wondering that myself

The part number you provided for the return hose is actually 44348-04030. Replacing the factory clamps is not a bad idea, but if you hire the dealer to do it, I'd bet a buck they will reuse the existing clamps and charge you for the new ones. All of the Toyota dealers I've ever dealt with rarely have these types of clamps in stock. Same for push-pins. They source that type of thing locally.
The return hose is connected to a plastic tube which is now 12 yrs. old. I've gotten them off "gently" using a single edge razor blade to slice a line in multiple spots once the clamp has been loosened and slid down the hose. If you break that tube you'll have to replace the reservoir and your truck will be out of commission until you can source a new one. Another part the local dealer is unlikely to have in stock.
A leaking return hose on a Toyota's is not uncommon. Some people simply replace the leaky hose with new 3/8" transmission fluid hose(strong) and new clamps they source locally. If you use something other than the OEM clamps be careful how tight you fasten them, especially on the side that connects to the reservoirs plastic tube.

When I had this leak on my return hose the leaked PS fluid that was everywhere didn’t seem wet at all, it was just gunk everywhere. I would have thought it was oil save for the location. I cut and re-clamped the return hose and sure enough, no more gunk everywhere.

 

Go for it! All you need is a set of pliers, a razor blade and a bunch of old rags and towels

 

I'm interested in upgrading(right) to the transmission hose. I was thinking that I could upgrade both the return and the pressure along with getting a new reservoir while I am at it. Do you have any advice or links to those diameter transmission hoses? What about O-rings?
Also...after looking for the leak I am wondering if the leak is coming from the hose that comes out of the PS pump near the PS return hose(bigger right?) and if you have any advice on that

 

Here is a photo with the return hose attachment point to the pump. Hard to tell if it is the return hose or the hose coming out of the pump with the banjo? bolt.

 

It is probably the high pressure hose that's leaking- looks like it from the pic. I'm not specifically familiar with it, but generally they use a copper sealing washer on each side of the metal hose end. I'd try two new washers from the dealer and tighten that fitting with a torque wrench to the spec in the FSM.
And maybe it's the angle, but why is it so close to the pulley?

 

tighten up that banjo bolt holmes

 

Do you have a link to this part?

 

I have a 2015 4.0L 6 cyl and my setup is not at all like yours. Your lines are metal; mine are plastic.
Either you have a 4 cyl or Toyota changed the power steering setup on the 4.0L along the way.
