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

 

You need to clean everything up and see where the leak is coming from. If the pump is dry, then there are only 2 lines, hi pressure and return. One of the two is leaking.

Check the steering box for leaks as well.

 

The weird thing is that on occasion as you are pouring it in it is coming right out. but you cannot see where it is coming from. Basically I am just trying to figure out what it could before I tear it down. It is my mom's car and it cannot be down for a long time. it sees a lot of road time.
