Steering Problems

I have a 1993 4Runner with the 3VZE. I have a large power steering fluid leak that I need help tracking. It will leak completely empty in about 2 days. It appears to be leaking all over the lower control arm on the passenger side. The pump is dry so it is not leaking there. There are so many hoses running through there that it is hard to pinpoint which one is leaking. Are there any known issues with this particular vehicle? It seems like the most of it is running right on the outer tie rod if that helps.

Thank you for any help

Wait...let me put on my remote viewing glasses.

Spray a good degreaser on it, hose it off at the car wash 'til it comes clean, then watch carefully for the leak/leaks. That should help determining where it is a bit.

There are even times when you are pouring it in that it is coming right out, but I cannot contort in the ways to see exactly where it is but it comes right down on the lower control arm right on the outer tie rod
