Default Power steering pump leak 140k mi

My kids car is 1998 es300 i saw high pressure hose was leaking at hose crimp under spriral plastic protector so I changed it. After change still had small ps fluid weep on pump so ps pump also leaking around shaft seal. I removed pump installed 15$ rebuild kit from local oreily and Pump made noise and had no power Took pump back out and put back in old o rings. Pump was quiet but still weeping. So I bought the 30$ Toyota oem kit. No leaks quiet pump and lots of power assist. Lesson learned sometimes oem parts are the way to go especially when you save labor costs buy the best parts my 2 cents

Yes most of the time oem parts are the way to go. Thanks for the share.
