1982 4wd Power Steering leaking fitting - Banjo Fitting?
I need to know if the banjo fitting is stock because its leaking can't even keep fluid in the reservoir, I have to figure this out by Friday the 24th thanks in advance.

Toyota did not use banjo bolts for the power steering and when you do use banjo bolts, you only need two copper washers - one on each side. The extra washers may be causing your problems, but then again the extra washers could have been a "fix" for a banjo bolt that was too long (not the correct way of fixing that problem though). Also, I would imagine that the banjo bolt would be much more restrictive than the stock pressure hose fitting thus creating a lot more pressure on one side of the fitting and restricting volume which I imagine would greatly restrict the function of the gear box.
You may be able to stop the leak by installing new copper washers. Any parts store should have them in the brake section and you can some thicker washers if necessary (if indeed the banjo bolt was too long). Make sure you thoroughly clean hose fitting, banjo bolt and around the inlet of the gear box so don't have any debris present that will prevent a good seal.
Ideally, I would get a new hose. They are available pretty much anywhere, but here is what you're looking for:
