    Well yesterday I was up in the mountains I noticed fluid dripping out, after further investigation and making my way out of the mountains it was a steady stream of fluid coming out of where one of the flared tubes goes into the elbow at the steering box. I disconnected the hose where it goes into the elbow and couldn't find anything wrong with it. Any ideas?

    There's been a few people posting with the same leak recently, haven't seen the fix yet, hope it's not a new rack based on how common it seems to be.

    So my engine mount cracked my frame, apparently a pretty common occurrence with 05-06 Tacomas. Long story short the engine was so loose it was bouncing on the steering rack. So I ended up changing the entire rack out only to find out my engine mounts were broke.
