power steering leak

Ok folks. I've got a leak. It's not the lines. It's the part that the steering stem bolts into the rack. I'll try and post pics.

 

The leak is in the silver part that the aluminum lines go into.

 

Sorry... I don't know how to do this. Anyway. ... does anyone know of a rebuild kit or the part number for the entire aluminum part?

 

Again... I apologize. The aluminum part that bolts to the top of the rack that the line bolt to

 

You need a seal from the dealer, but the problem is you also need a special tool to get it out. I had to make one and it wasn't easy.

 

Can I just buy the part the steering shaft slips into?

 

Sorry but its hard for me to tell what you are asking about. I can see no major oil leaking in the picture Is it leaking drops out of the steering shaft seal on the driveway ? or are you talking about that teeny drizzle around where the aluminum cases bolt ?
I could definitly get to sleep at night not worrying about that
If its pouring out then you might want to fix it.

 

It was leaking. About a puddle the size of a personal pizza. It's not leaking now. .. not sure why. I put ATF Dextrose in it and it stopped. For anyone having the same problem. .. here's the part number for the seal kit... 04455-35130. This is the kit to rebuild the valve assembly. It's $76 from the dealer.

 

I'm not doing too bad for 412000 miles on the OD.

 

Put some Lucas power steering leak fix in it. Worked well for my 4Runner
