    The truck was sitting for about week and I noticed a spot on the cement. When I removed the skid plate cover it appears the be coming from the trans line. (I think)
    Everything else seems dry.

    Let me know what ya think.
    Thanks.

    To the right of the hose clamp is a pregnant spot. That’s where the tube has a flared out area. If you can get that hose clamp moved over so it’s squeezing it, the leak might stop. Clean it up with brake cleaner, start it up, check if it’s leaking.

    Thats a PS line, you can try to move the clamp back up the hose and installing a worm clamp, but usually they leak because the hose is swollen and brittle.

    I’ll have to look at it better. I had timing chain and valve gaskets replaced about 3 yrs ago when they did the frame.
    Thanks

    I wasn’t sure which line exactly which line it was. I moved the clamp up and haven’t noticed anything leaking yet.
    I cleaned up the hose/tude.

    Thanks.

    My money is on PS lines. I replaced that assembly on my truck a year or two ago. Couldn't figure out the Toyota catalog, so I shopped by picture on Rock Auto. No problems (with those lines) since!

    Keep in mind these trucks run standard ATF as steering fluid. Leaking steering means ATF on the driveway.
