White lithium grease would work, but IMO not for long... I would use a bearing grease of some kind. Bearing grease is MUCH thicker and stickier than white lithium grease.
Speaking of though... I need to grease mine again lol

Litho is what the manual recommends, but yeah...it doesn't last long. Bearing grease is better. Still, if you run through water at all you need to grease them real often. Unless, you like the traumatizing racket it makes....
BTW, there is no other way to grease the driveline unless you use a grease gun. And, litho is never used there. Moly EP on those.

For the steering stops any kind of grease will work, pretty much whatever you have in your gun at the time. I usually use an aviation grease because that's what I can "borrow" from work.

thickest grease you can get
Antiseize works good, Leave a residue for quite some time.
Really if you lube them at oil change intervals most of the time they will be quiet.
I knew a fellow that worked on boilers that had some lead based lube that was thicker than peanut butter. That stuff would be just right.

check that link on the fsm and go to the last page explaining it i think the hoses come from the throttle valve

Typically run to the intake manifold and to the idle up valve, like on my 22RE below:

4Crawler's correct. It's an idle-up valve on the power steering pump. You're leaking fluid from it because it's bad. Buy a new one or source from the salvage yard... or plug the boss it screws to on the pump.

Check my thread: https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f116...-valve-148525/
There are two vacuum hoses that run along the left and into the intake plenum. It will be behind all the TVV/Cold Start Injector and just above the PAIR stuff. Without those lines plugged/connected you pretty much have a vacuum leak. If you take a picture of the passenger side of your motor I can show you exactly where (or if you can wait until I get home to snap a picture).

One hose gets air from in front of the throttle body, the other gets connected to the intake plenum. When you turn the steering wheel, that valve opens connecting both hoses together and should cause the idle speed to raise slightly to counter drag from the steering pump.
The hoses should be connected but if they are not, and are properly plugged off, there won't be much problem other than the idle speed won't raise when you turn the steering wheel.
