Oh how my Runner breaks...
Well today was NOT a good day.
While driving I notice smoke coming from the engine bay. So I shut off the motor and coast to the side of the road, open the hood, and find I have a pin sized hole in my Power Steering PRESSURE line. Call auto store to find the cheapest price at $76. So with not having any money at the moment, I just take the belt off, NOW its harder then heck to steer. Then while looking over my Runner I look on the lower left control arm and notice grease all over it. Upon furter inspection, one of the seals has blown out and all my grease is now EVERYWHERE. What a day huh?

Yeah,mine was puking when i bought my runner.The entire right side was soaked in fluid.I bought the factory part($130 on the net).
You gotta fix that right away though.Crashing into something because you can't steer is gonna cost more than $76.
And running your steering box with no fluid will cost way more $ if you keep driving it.
