power steering

If it is only weeping it is likely the hose material has receeded slightly and like aircon hoses they can be re crimped to make it seal. Most likely the hose is still in very good condition and won't need replacing at all.
Take it off, get it crimped and save the environment.
A man of your capabilities should be able to do that! I've heard it said, you are capable of anything. Sorry, at anything.

Toyota dealer?

Just replace it with pirtek, Go Hi pressure and it will be there when where both gone..lol.


Cheers Axle.

Your power steering has two sides...The low pressure side and the high pressure side.

DIY crimping for the high side is not available in Australia...Unless you want to open an Enzed or Pirtek shop !!

Most of the time leaks will happen on the high side...Do your self a favour and don't bother even thinking about trying to fix it your self.

Get it fixed... The fluid used is under high pressure and will spurt all over the place, not just drip. If it touches the exhaust pipes at all, it can and will ignite causing a fire.

Either Enzed or Pirtek can make a whole new hose for you. However, many vehicles have steel tube and restrictors on the hose. So take the hose off and get one of those two to re-build it for you. You will save a few bucks if you remove and install your self.

If you want OEM...you can expect at least $1,000.... I would think well under $200 for Enzed or Pirtek, but I don't work for them nor speak for them.

Muzbry - This crowd has an aftermarket high pressure tube for $524 (ouch).

This following site will provide you with another source - usually ex-Japan, sometimes UAE, and usually a genuine part.

Click on your model, select Transmission and Chassis, then Power Steering tube, and so on until you get to the right part. Then click on "see all prices" to get the price in USD$ and locations. Freight is additional, of course - and there will be a delay before it arrives.

However, you do avoid the Vaseline and bend-over treatment given to you by a local Toyota dealer, with this deal.

I know what I'd be doing. I'd cut the steel ends off, buy a couple of (Eaton) Aeroquip screw-on re-useable fittings with swivel end couplings - plus two threaded adaptors (with matching swivel-coupling threaded ends) - and a length of suitably-pressure-rated, Aeroquip single steel wire braid hose.

I'd silver-solder the adaptor fittings to the tubes, screw the re-useable fittings on the hose, couple the swivel coupling nuts to the adaptors that I'd silver-soldered on the tubes - and Bob's ya Uncle!

The beauty of this setup with Aeroquip fittings, is that anytime the hose starts leaking again - you take the whole pipe off, unscrew the fittings, install a new section of hose, screw up the fittings - and Bob's ya Uncle again!

You could also buy a ready-made suitable-length hose off eBay, such as this new ex-military hose, and fit it!
