    Hi all,

    Power steering is losing quite a bit of fluid lately so I went under for a look and found a pinhole leak in the upper pipe which I assume is the feed. See pic attached. Leak is where arrow is.

    Question: could I simply replace this one pipe? And if so, where may I do that?

    Also the steering linkage looks pretty rusty. Good idea to replace it? Where could I find a replacement.

    Thanks in advance.

    Yes to replacing both parts.

    Can't advise on what the 'right' part is, 'cause I've not done one on a Tacoma, but it shouldn't be too hard to determine (pressure vs return)

    Rock Auto is a good parts source as well.
