    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    Just where is it leaking??

    Any auto parts suppliers you deal with on a regular basis ?

    I might go with a used Toyota power steering pump over the poor quality of rebuilds.

    Parts like this my Choice is Napa.

    Power steering pump, AKA Vane Pump, correct? Can you tell where it's leaking? You may not need a new pump. The union bolt is a funky design IMO, the bolt goes through the line and has to hold pressure, one spec of grit is enough to cause it to leak. It must be torqued to 35 ft/lbs or it will slow leak on you, had this happen before I got a good torque wrench that could get in there. Pic is from the 2003 FSM.

    It also says the metal gaskets are non re-usable but I've reused them if there's no nicks or scarring. If it seals, it heals. :p
