Power Steering Pump? Hose? No Bueno
So i got back from the dealer due to the srs airbag.. (still covered under lifetime warrenty.. wohoo..) and they noticed a leak under my car, and some muddy stuff on the power steering hoses.. they wanted to charge me 115 to further investigate but i cant afford that right now.. just wondoring if it can be a quick diy fix or is it gonna be a costly repair and weither or not i should still be driving her..

Does it also "whine"?
if so check this out https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-problems-fixes-114/diy-105-power-steering-whine-fix-754586/
Mine whines and is leaking a bit of fluid. I'm unsure if failure to replace this seal would cause a minor leak, but just offering my opinion. Hopefully someone with more experience can correct me.

There is a TSB on the high pressure power steering line that make leak, and cause a fire. I'd check to see if yours has been replaced.

Seeing as you have an 04 there's also a windscreen wiper motor TSB.

Hmm.. It has no whine and i checked the symptioms of that o ring but it all checks out fine.. Also remember brining it in a couple years after i bought it out the lot for the steering recall. Today im going to clean up all the lines and drive it to work and back and see if i can pin point where it is all coming from.. Thnx..

You can try this DIY to rebuild your pump, but my experience went horribly wrong, and I needed a new pump. My main leak was coming from where the 10mm allen bolt underneath.

Yeah I think the whine is only present during cold starts in cold winters. At least that is what it was like when I had my 06. They replaced the hose but the O-ring rotted and the pump was sucking air straight into the PS system.

Were you ever able to find the source of the leak? I think I may have the same issue right now with the '04 I just picked up. Trying to find out if the o-ring is the main culprit, or if we are dealing with something else.
No whining noises (yet), but I did notice all of this fluid and dirt built up around the pump:

Turns out mine is also leaking from somewhere around the rack too. My left front boot is covered in fluid, and still leaking fluid, but I still haven't gotten my high pressure hose replaced under warranty since I my car is currently out of commission. I hope that's where my leak is coming from(fingers crossed). I guess I'll find out when I make the two hour trip to the nearest dealer to get the warranty work done. That won't be until I get all the parts to repair my care.
