    Leaking fluid from ABS/Power steering fluid device ( don’t know exact name). Little vent tube that sits on top of frame.
    I have done some work . Replaced both power steering lines, pump , gear box. Flushed PS fluid twice
    Did some research and came across a 4Runner form . Guy had similar issues. He was told to bleed the rear brakes. I went ahead and flushed the whole system with fresh fluid.
    Start truck up and I’m still leaking fluid out of that little vent tube.
    Is there something else I need to do?
    I’ve tried to research this out more , but there’s not much info on this device leaking. From what I see part isn’t available. So it must be pretty reliable I guess
    I’m lost . thank you for your help

    I won’t be home today. I don’t know the exact name. It’s a Device on the passenger side frame . Power steering lines go into and also I guess it’s part of the ABS too.
    little vent tube on the bottom front dripping PS fluid.

    When ever you get time!! I really have no idea.

    Power steering and Brake fluid should not mix that is what has me baffled .

    It’s the brake actuator. Sorry I haven’t gotten back in upload_2023-9-18_10-11-4.jpg.

    If you look at the 2nd picture taken from below. You will see a rubber breather tube. That’s where it does a consistent drip of P.S. fluid
