Puddles of ATF in my vacuum hoses. Dead ACV?
Another one for ya'll. I'm replacing my old, cracked vacuum hoses. After pulling the 1/4 inch hoses leading to the Power steering pump off the manifold, i noticed something oily drip out. After digging in under the pump and pulling the hoses, the hoses drained out a nice ol puddle of ATF onto the garage floor. Now, I'm no mechanic, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't belong in there.
Does this sound like a leaking power steering air control valve? Or should I be looking to rebuild the pump itself?
Thanks!

I'd say it's just the Valve. Control. Pressure. https://parts.lakelandtoyota.com/p/T...763016040.html There's also a Dorman replacement:
Do you like it when someone looks up the part for you? Sure, but is it the correct one? No way to tell for sure unless we know the make/model/year/engine/trim of your vehicle. Do yourself a big favor by stuffing all that in your "signature." Then you don't have to repeat it each time.

I would be cautious about buying the Dorman part.
I don't know about this part specifically, but Dorman has a pretty bad reputation for making low quality parts with high failure rates among professional mechanics.
I would rather buy a used 30 year-old Toyota part than a new Dorman part.
A new Toyota part would be best.

Thanks gents
Scope103.... and here I thought the sigs were just for bragging! Good tip, I'll do that. I have a 1990 3.0 SR5 4x4 AT so looks like the one you linked fits the bill
old87yota, I appreciate the heads up on the dorman parts. Def rather buy the thing once if the diff is less than the replacement.
